Teaching Out of the Box: Algebra for ESL Students

Smyrna High School (just outside Nashville, TN) had to re-think its approach to ESL teaching with a recent influx of refugee students from Burma. That required teachers willing to try some unorthodox approaches to classroom lessons.

I double like this. I have been searching for more information about this population - ESL/ELL who come here with gaps in education. SLIF or the like. And so much of what I find is for elementary kids. This video of kids who are in this situation in high school really moved me. Thank you!

There is NOTHING unorthodox about using native language to support learning in content area. It's the appropriate thing to do

Imagine if all students behaved like this. There definitely would be no teacher shortage
