We manage teachers, who are diverse, unique, and often fiercely independent. This session offers new ideas on how to build a faculty team that works effectively together. The presenters explore this question by sharing their IEP's experience in hiring NNS teachers. Several issues must be considered, but we have been found that the benefits of hiring NNS teachers outweigh potential risks. Participants learn to trouble-shoot situations and develop tools to deal with people around them.
Presenters distribute materials and resources.
To test this idea, a questionnaire was constructed to evaluate an ESL director. The outcome of this evaluation and the benefits for the director, faculty, and the program are presented.
