I like to give students the opportunity to learn in a safe environment. I have some students who do not speak English (at all) and some who are learning (but they are limited in proficiency). Our district has a program for ESL students to access when what we are doing class is beyond their current ability (time is not wasted on their learning)--they don't have to just sit there and wait.
Also, I mostly have students with Special Education programs or who are low in proficiency compared to their peers. I have been recognized by the state as a teacher who is highly impacting. One of the reasons is that I don't just teach the class one lesson, but I have multiple lessons going on at once to be able to reach each student's needs. One of the things that makes this possible is having access to laptops so that students can work on their individual reading programs while I am conferencing with others.
