    Public schools may shy away from welcoming students who can speak or understand little to no English. The reason for this indifference is, because of the No Child Left Behind Act, after one year of enrollment all students must take the required standardized tests. These students include ELL’s. If the teachers do not prepare the students to perform well on the test, then in turn, the school is put at risk of failing (Rance-Roney, 33). Rance-Roney thinks that schools and teachers should embrace these students and try to dispel the myths

    The struggles ELL students face within the education system may have been a bit different than blatant racism, but the core idea of poor quality assurance is rampant. Florida's own consent decree was created to help ensure the identification and processes for students in need of help with the language to better prepare ELL students for their schooling career. The struggles of course still remain as the students will need to overcome barriers of language in an environment where the teacher may or may not be ESOL endorsed. This of course is the major problem students will face in Florida, to teach in the state a teacher must have an ESOL endorsement within two years of getting their first student of another language (FDOE, 2017, p. 24). While teachers of English or language arts have to have training within their degree, teachers of science, math, social studies, and other secondary classes do not, and are only required to seek the training you once a student classified as an ELL is placed into their class.

    Standardizing and Systematizing each of these processes has been a work in progress over the last year, and in some cases, are still under development. Budgeting processes have been a primary concern due to our non-profit status and the need to maximize financial efficiency and impact. Our budgeting processes has been refined by standardizing expenditures (stipends, operational budgets), allocating discrete sums for specific purposes (gear, apparel), and tracking/assigning costs (proper identification of expenses and establishing team accounts to track expenses). Budgeting is an area that has improved and will continue to improve as across the organization as the mentoring programs begin their standardization process. As the budgeting data increases and improves, we will be able to identify expenses which yielded the best results as determined by our agreed upon objective measures, enabling us to make better decisions about how we spend financial resources.

    “The FL Consent Decree provides a structure for compliance with all the jurisprudence ensuring the rights of ELL students in Florida and equality in educational opportunities as afforded to all native-English-speaking students” (20). Non-native English speakers allow a sense of diversity in the classrooms. Diversity drives innovations, and creativity and builds on communities. The reality of community and diversity in a school environment entails that one must keep an open-mind and be willing to cooperate with others- specifically those having difficulty communicating with other students and educators because of the language barrier- and also to expand their insights on a broader scale from others indifferent to themselves rather than what they are used to encountering every day, in order to become more worldly. I completely agree with the programs that LEP students are entitled to in addition to ESOL, as they are provided to ensure equality in educational opportunities.

    Numerous factors have motivated me to want to become a school leader, such as colleagues who are role models in my life, my desire to make a change and to be an advocate for students who may struggle to support themselves. However, one project that I have been involved with that has ignited my desire to become a school leader was becoming the first English Language Learner (ELL) educator in my building in my first year as a full-time teacher. In previous years, my district had struggled with ELLs entering our middle school because we were such a low-incidence district. Due to a lack of enrollment and being on the cusp of the RETELL initiative, we did not have any teachers who were SEI endorsed or prepared to meet the various needs of the incoming ELL students. However, after some time as a long-term substitute English Language Arts educator, my administration asked if I would be interested in pursuing a master’s degree that would align with the needs of the ELL students.
