Week 4: Weekly Assignment
I define advocacy as necessities and standing up for each person's own rights. As a
director I see myself as an advocacy because I am the main person in my center, and I am the one
that stand up for anything that happens. I see myself as advocacy because I get to speak to
families and talk about what they teacher may be seeing in their child, help parents with anything
that can make their child learn more, help families apply for programs that can help them
financially for daycare, and guide families with school programs. But the most important thing
about advocating as a teacher is working with Els students and having them feel valued,
important, and that they can count on us to be able to help them with their English learning. I
believe every educator should be able to advocate for Els children regardless, their culture, or
religious. Every Els student should be welcomed to every classroom and helped as every other
child is being helped. As of myself I would do my very best to attend all children and every child
in my classroom should be able to feel welcomed and as if I can be their help for everything and
anything. I will always be able to help and to communicate with families to help them even when
they aren't in my classroom because I want every child to learn, grow, and feel comfortable
learning with me.
Shared responsibility to educate Els means to me, having the full support from the
institution where I would to be able to help other. All teachers should be able to have something
that helps them reach their goals with each student or with the class. But the school should also
have a set goal for each classroom to help reach the goal of each Els student. Having the help
from the institution you work from makes it easier for you to provide the teaching you have for
all students equally.
