Some Practices for Principle 1




Teachers gain information about their learners.
Teachers collect information about their students’ linguistic and educational backgrounds to determine correct placement for students. They also seek to learn a new student’s cultural and geographic background as a resource for classroom learning .

Teachers embrace and leverage the resources that learners bring to the classroom to enhance learning.Teachers tap their learners’ prior knowledge purposefully in their teaching. They try to determine what gifts and talents students bring to the classroom, what interests motivate them, what life experiences they have had that are curriculum-related, and what else in their backgrounds has influenced their personalities and beliefs.




Teachers of English learners know that many of our students come to school with social, emotional, and financial issues that are beyond those that are part of a child’s typical experience or development. English learners may have left a war-torn country or experienced violence or extreme poverty. Some have been victims of religious persecution or witnessed a relative being arrested or killed. Others have arrived in the United States to live with a parent or relative whom they hardly know.
