Support Starts Here: Learn how to easily differentiate for newcomers with ready-to-use tools that meet students where they are — from day one!

 

Supporting newcomer ELLs can feel overwhelming. Newcomers often arrive with limited English, unfamiliarity with school routines, and big emotional transitions. Without the right tools, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of reactive teaching and last-minute planning.

That’s why Day 4 is all about intentional, easy-to-implement differentiation for newcomers. Instead of guessing what to do next or scrambling for resources, you can focus on building relationships and creating a welcoming, consistent learning environment.

In the long run, a strong plan not only helps your students make faster progress — it helps you feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
