The Every Teacher Podcast
Most educators are unsure of how to teach Multilingual Learners (sometimes called English Learners). It can be overwhelming when you’ve never been equipped for the job. That’s why I created The Every Teacher Podcast. I’m Risa Woods and I want to give you the classroom confidence you need to do your job well. Whether you’re an administrator, instructional coach, educator, or any other instructional staff member, each episode is designed to help every teacher take immediate, bite-sized actions to meet the needs of the English Learners in their classes. You've got this, teacher!
