Teachers College Not for ELLs & Struggling Students

It's the day after Thanksgiving and I had a wakeful night thinking about the strugglers in my first grade class. I should give it a rest for the weekend, but the stakes are too high...
I teach in a Title One school in Brooklyn, NY with a high Special Ed and ELL population. My frustration with TC is that its methods don't adequately address the needs of kids who are coming in with low household literacy, are learning English, and have limited background knowledge. TC's non-content approach leaves many of these
