INTESOL 2019: Teachers as Leaders for Change
This year’s conference will highlight teachers’ ability and potential to enact positive change in the lives of English learners. From early childhood through high school, in higher education and adult education, teachers play integral roles in daily placement and instructional decisions, in influencing awareness of their colleagues and communities, in advocating for more equitable policies and practices, and much more. In many ways, teachers are uniquely positioned to act as catalysts of change, to support and amplify nascent change where they see it, and to rally stakeholders to broad support of change at scale. Teacher educators and teachers of English learners can bridge values and ideals with practice, courageously and reflectively integrating more student voices and experiences into their learning communities. This conference aims to showcase this important work.

One of the presenters shadowed and interviewed beginning ELL students in a suburban Midwestern high school. From her observations and the students' comments about their experiences, she developed a list of suggestions for content area classroom teachers to help  ELLs learn English and acquire content area knowledge. In this workshop, participants will generate their own ideas about supporting ELLs in the regular classroom. The combined list will be shared and discussed by the presenters and the participants.
