Hi. My name is David Pitts. I am a public school educator who has worked with Emergent Bilingual, ESL or EL students for seventeen years. I want to share information for parents to understand how schools support English Learner students and how you can be the best advocate for your child. I also have interests in language, philosophy and legal precedent as it relates to language and education in the United States. All of these important topics have direct impact on the education of the earliest of learners. In summary, good language education leads to peace. Follow along.

Who are EB's (Emergent Bilinguals) and Why They Matter.

In this 1st episode of the Language Lab, I give a short description of who I am and what I want to accomplish for this podcast. I discuss who EB (Emergent Bilingual) also know as EL (English Learner) or ESL (English as Second Language) students are in public schools and why it matters we classify students in this category. I will discuss two landmark United States Supreme Court rulings that have set the foundation for the work I do and the service your students may or may not receive. I want to educate parents on exactly what and why is going on with Language Learners in public schools so they, the parents can be the best advocate they can be for their students.
