I am interested in some reaction to the Federal mandate concerning INCLUSION (caps - mine!) of ESL kids and Learning Disabled/ ESL kids into the mainstream with little to no training for mainstream teachers. What are people out there suggesting/doing? I have been concerned with this issue and have gotten a number of inquiries - is anyone in our vast pool of participants aware of research? practice issues? complaints? or all of the above.
