is in different states or schools. The comments posted by others
made me realize I should add: in addition to the testing,
reporting and documentation requirements mentioned above, our ELL
personnel do have the same paperwork as other teachers: report
card grades and progress reports, daily papers to grade, lesson
plans to turn in, etc. But as someone else mentioned, it's just
for one subject area (although as far as lesson planning it will
usually be for several different levels, i.e. what your beginners
need will be quite different from what your intermediate students
need). If you are used to teaching elementary, I think you will
mostly find that the paperwork is different in some areas and
similar in others, but manageable.
