I serve as the English Language Learner (ELL) teacher for first grade at Bruce Vento Elementary School. Given the co-teaching context, my work involves not only collaboration with mainstream classroom teachers, but also thematic-based instruction to approximate the first-language acquisition process. The result is the efficient learning of vocabulary and academic concepts in the target language through integrated literature, guided writing, thematically-linked songs, etc. Moreover, the co-teaching model creates ownership of ALL students, emphasizing relationships and personal responsibility in caring for ourselves and community. How lucky I am to work in a field where warm-heartedness is the foundation! Indeed, we are hoping to have students not only learn about the outside, material world, but also examine internal states of mind that create lasting happiness through cultivating inner attention and peace.
