What are some of the greatest barriers preventing our schools from meeting the educational goals for ELL students today? What recommendations are offered in your readings that address these barriers? Whom do you see as potential change agents for implementing these recommendations?
I think many of the criteria for school need and students are stringent on them and this prevents schools from reaching their goals as there are different grade levels today. Although some teachers may not have the time to help their students, there are many ways these barricades can help.
Some teachers need to devote some time to help their students. There is also funding for schools because some schools cannot afford such things as technology. There should be strategies or techniques to help students who do not have language and communication skills.
For example, a teacher could enlist a student to help with his communication skills. The teacher can use student culture and understand different subjects in different ways. Can be applied to certain visual or hand movements.
