If they arm teachers, trust me that training will be a website where you click through minilessons & get a little certificate after like 25 minutes, & we will be forced to do it in a staff meeting after school when we’re already tired, & the DOE will say we were all fully trained

What do you think are the best free sites where ELL/ESL teachers can find well-organized and large numbers of zero-prep lessons?

It would be a lot easier to combat this BS mindset if it wasn’t coming from the top of the field. Teaching IS a job you hold. A professional job.
