K and 1st grade ESOL teacher/ ESOL department chiar
I am an elementary kindergarten and first grade ESOL teacher in Maryland. The school that I service is a title 1 school and most children qualify for free or reduced lunch. I work to teach English, reading, and writing skills to children who's first language is not English. I also serve as the ESOL department chair at the school. My role as chair is to lead the ESOL department at my school and serve as a member of the instructional leadership team, helping to make school wide decisions to improve student learning and teacher instruction.
