Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to brave the Lost World of ESL/SPED education and find the secret members of the underground grassroots ESL /SPED Educators Society.
I’m a Master’s level student working toward my 3rd, or 4th (or maybe 5th) career direction. This time focusing on ESL education with an emphasis on Special Education, one of my life-long passions.
WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!???
I know there are others like me in the underground ESL / SPED Society but where you are I have no clue. I have found links to sites on how to evaluate and assess ESL students for SPED, links on how to teach ESL / SPED students, links to resources to use in teaching…
Few of these links actually point me toward the new, out-of-the-box ideas and techniques I’m aching to find. I would love to find other like-minded, alternative education loving, ESL / SPED Education Society members to brainstorm, chat and share ideas with.
I keep hearing from professors and peers that ESL / SPED is an up and coming field. I’ve seen programs on-line at colleges around the country. We need to make our voices heard, become advocates for the ESL / SPED community and create a NEW way to address the needs of this population.
Accept the challenge! ESL / SPED Educators Unite!
