What does No Child Left Behind mean for schools?
Every ESL student at my school will be taking 16 hours of tests over a two-week period in April. I won't be teaching any students for those two weeks because I'll be administering the tests to small groups every day, all day long. I think I might set up a zen room, with candles, low lights, and Enya playing softly, where I can go and "center" myself after hours of silent sitting and watching kids fill in little bubbles.
