• Understand, experience, and design highly structured quality learning opportunities for students just beginning their educational journeys in the US

• Craft opportunities for quality interactions among Newcomers  with a wide range of English language proficiencies

• Reflect deeply on your own practice and the underlying theories of education that drive your decision making
