Congratulations to April’s
NJTESOL/NJBE Member of the Month
Andrea Sodhi
In her words, “I am incredibly grateful and deeply touched to have been nominated as the member of the month for April. Being a part of NJTESOL/NJBE has been an incredible experience for me. Having my supervisor, Cecilia, deeply involved in the organization, consistently highlighting the excellent work and wealth of knowledge available, has made being part of the organization even more exciting. Throughout this year, I have had the opportunity to participate in professional development sessions where I have gained invaluable knowledge.
Moreover, being part of a supportive community where members share news and insights has greatly contributed to my professional growth and has been immensely beneficial in enhancing my teaching practices. The dedication of NJTESOL/NJBE to providing services to Multilingual Learners (MLLs) is truly remarkable. As an ELL teacher, I feel fortunate to have access to a wealth of resources and research through NJTESOL/NJBE. I am deeply honored by this recognition, and words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you for this incredible honor!”

NJTESOL/NJBE has so many amazing teachers throughout our state that it would be fitting to highlight some of them. Nominees could be colleagues who are available to answer questions about ELLs or the Bilingual Education code; educators who support students and their families beyond the classroom with projects, college applications, and extracurricular activities; someone who joins committees in support of ELLS or to implement positive change for the community. The nominee must be a member of NJTESOL/NJBE. Nomination Link
This blog, produced by Continental Press, provides practical guidelines and resources for supporting students in science and math classes. The writer notes the under-representation of MLs in STEM fields, and the fact that about two-thirds of math and science teachers have at least one ML in their classes.
