In this particular Podcast, Wesley Fryer touches on English Language Learners Bill of Rights. It contains an interview with Rusiana Westerlund. It touches on that a community should be aware of English Language Learners. The summary of the Bill of Rights is "English Learners have many rights that even teachers to who teach them don't know about." This is important for us teachers to understand and have knowledge about. They need more than only being in our general classroom, they need to equally be able to learn the material. I have never thought about how hard it would be for a student that is an English Language Learners who is fluent, it would still be difficult for them to learn the material. Teachers need to draw attention to academic language and become aware of language arts. This is important to remember and understand because classrooms are becoming more and more diverse every day.
