Episode description
Texas has one of the highest percentages of English language learners in the country at 18%. How can we best support this population? Do schools have the resources they need to serve them? What is the difference between bilingual education and English as a second language? We chat about these questions and more with Antonio Cruz, 5th grade master teacher and former dual language teacher at San Antonio ISD, Bea Ramirez, high school ESL district specialist at Northside ISD, and Dr. Karlyn Keller, division director of TASB Special Education Solutions.
