Hello everyone, my name is Sora Ilowitz and I hope that you all had a wonderful summer! I grew up and attended all my years of school in Brooklyn NY, and I currently reside in Israel. I am currently in my third semester pursuing a master’s degree in education. I do not work as of now, but I have worked in the past in an early childhood classroom in Bais Yaakov. If I would to write a book about myself I would probably name it “Life is out of my control”, as I am growing older I see how much that whatever happens in my life is not in my control. A good joke that I heard and like, a teacher asked a student for his homework, the student answered I don’t have it the teacher asked what happened to it? The student answered that I made it into a paper airplane and it got hijacked :)! I am familiar with the term “new literacies”, and teaching language arts from a previous semester. I am looking forward to learning about both of these topics more in depth this semester. One concern that I do have, is that I hope to be able to manage all my responsibilities.

Good luck to you all, and have a successful semester!

With the proper instruction, a dedicated teacher, and a lot of time, effort, and patience every student and an English Language Learner can succeed. I learned that a teacher needs to show respect for the ELL students and where they come from. If teachers show respects and believes in their ELL students, then their peers and classmates will respect and treat them the same like anyone else in the class. Working with parents is extremely important, since they can be of help and make the progress that much easier and smoot...
