Background information
about the history and culture of students is a valuable resource for teachers
making instructional and classroom management decisions for the students
in their class. It is our hope that the information found on this
web page will help to eliminate the stereotypes or misconceptions that
teachers have about groups, while opening communication between teachers,
their students, and parents.

Teachers are facing
a new issue in their classrooms that may cause some great concern: how
to teach the increasing number of students with limited English proficiency
(LEP) and English speakers of other languages (ESOL). With the number
of these students growing nationally, it is important to evaluate the methods
used to teach these students so they can be successful. This site
offers suggestions and gives tips on how to do just that.
