Addressing the Whole Child

English learners may face challenges such as culture shock, homesickness, or anxiety. Supporting their social and emotional wellbeing is just as important as academic instruction.

Strategies for Support

• Foster a welcoming and respectful classroom atmosphere.
• Teach social-emotional skills, like empathy and resilience.
• Provide access to counseling and peer support groups.

Classroom Practices

Teachers can use morning meetings, mindfulness activities, and peer mentors to build community and confidence.

Real-World Impact

When students feel safe and valued, they are more likely to participate and succeed.
