Abstract

Some educators who are not English language learners (ELLs) do not fully appreciate the struggles and resources ELLs have. This paper, expanded from a reflection in the Spring 2013 newsletter of the North American Study Group on Ethnomathematics (NASGEm), shares a journey of cultivating empathy -- from personal perspective to professional development.
