The Literacy Council has been quietly growing its English-language instruction to parents of children in Frederick County Title 1 elementary...
The Literacy Council trains you to bring in life experiences which makes learning more inspirational. The training also teaches about how people learn differently. “It is good to use all the tools in the toolbox so that you can touch a class. That is different from tutoring, but in a class it is important to keep an eye on your students on who is tuning out.” Just because someone can’t speak your language doesn’t mean they aren’t brilliant. They know more than one language. You will have someone who is an engineer or lawyer in their country. It is what you pay attention to and the respect you give them that is important. When I teach my students, it is about getting the language under their belt, but it is also about sharing and being part of a community together.
