  • Summary

  • 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.
