Student populations are becoming more diverse. The range of diversity among current students is wide thus requiring all school personnel to become familiar with how each respective population group needs to be supported to achieve their career goals. This group is for all school personnel who aspire to discuss and master the competencies necessary for exemplary performance and top customer service in a dynamic, rapidly changing education landscape. Group members share best practices, ideas, thoughts, reflections, and resources to help colleagues across the globe improve performance.
Students should be allowed to use their "mother tongue". Language is a part of their culture. Also, language and literacy are not equal. Someone may speak multiple languages but have low literacy.
