Hi! My name is Ingrid Corpuz. I originally created Mrs. Corpuz's ESL World to share my ideas with Multilingual Learner Program Specialists and classroom teachers working with MLs and to support parents and learners at my school. I am so happy it has also served as a resource for MLPS and classroom teachers across my district and other states, including teachers abroad. Here you will find a number of strategies and resources I have used with my MLs the past few years and most recently too... from parent communication tools and data tracking for teachers to activities and projects engaging MLs and their families and professional development opportunities.
There is a little bit of everything here!
I hope you enjoy it!

Collaboration/Engagement
One of the biggest dilemmas that every educator experiences is how to teach all of our students- especially when so many come from cultural and linguistic experiences that are distinct from our own.
