Building Block 1: Thriving in high school

Level: Classroom

  • Educators encourage ELs to participate fully in school life (e.g., in athletic teams, student government, clubs, and academic enrichment activities in addition to meaningful and rigorous classroom learning experiences).

  • Educators nurture self-confidence and ensure that ELs participate in classroom and school activities; educators help to coordinate available school resources.
