Welcome!
My name is Lisa Elting. I taught 9-12th grade English and ESL in Houston, Texas. I always wanted to start a blog about things I did in my classroom, but never found the time. Now that I have switched roles, as a SIOP Coach, I'm doing it!...Slowly, but surely. I love my job, and I'm passionate about teaching, that's why I took a job supporting teachers and English language learners. My other passions in life are my wonderful family, my adorable fur babies, and anything DIY or crafty.
In the classroom I loved reading teacher blogs, so many ideas and oh! the networking. This was great, but as a teacher of ELLs, I wanted even more. I love to create and I love sharing ideas, so that is what this blog is about: anything and everything about teaching English language learners. I hope you'll notice these things will work for everyone, and can find some inspiration here.
Thanks for sharing my TEDX Talk, Lisa! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. -Michelle Benegas

Do you have an RSS feed of your posts? I would love to add it to my main site. Cheers! Toni
I use WordPress. My Blogger account is not set up to import from my WP site properly. So, nothing to see on Blogger from me.
This is really wonderful site that - as I make 12-15 mini ELL preps (rotating stations)for my class of 16 tomorrow- it inspires me and I know I'm not alone. I also helps as I gently work with teachers about ELLs being the ELL teacher/Coach etc. The title of your blog encapsulates my similar mission and passion for change at my school and district. Many thanks!
