In the Neighborhood

The article i found under online journals, titled "In the Neighborhood" by
Marge Scherer is very interesting and after reading it, the message that it is sending it is so true.
As it mentions, "team-based support from everyone in the school is essential so that ELLs gain full access to learning not only language, but also content," if the administrators do not get together and work as a team, there will be no way for the english language learners to progress in this language. Teachers,staff and administrators need to get more involve with the students and know a bit more about them so they can help them obtain more knowledge about the language. Now i ask myself, would we see a diference in english language learners, if teachers, staff would become more aware of the community around them? If the teachers would become involve and show interest in them would aquire the language and without a proble? This is something that really puts me to think because we believe that in the schools they are teaching the students with a good method and everything is perfect, when in reality it is not like that. We need to help those students that need it.
