Shownotes

A decision gets made about one of your ELL students — a placement, a schedule, a service — and nobody asked you. Not because anyone meant to exclude you. It just didn't occur to them that you should be at the table.

This episode is about changing that.

In this episode:

- Why advocating from need gets you thanked and then ignored — and what to do instead

- Why your expertise is invisible to colleagues, and how to make it visible

- The three moves that turn you into the person people come to

- Why starting with your hardest colleague is the wrong strategy

- What actually shifts building culture when the environment is resistant

For the ELL teacher who's doing excellent work that nobody seems to notice.
