Real talk for ELL teachers 👇

Have you ever tried something with your students, it worked for a week, and then completely fell apart?

You're not alone. And it's not your fault.

The reason is almost never the strategy. It's consistency — or the lack of it.

Tell me: what's one thing you've tried with your ELLs that actually worked when you stuck with it? Drop it below. 👇

(And if you're not sure what to be consistent WITH — DM us the word CONSISTENCY and we've got something for you.)
