Here is what my former colleague said about the needs of teachers on campus. It seems to
dove-tail with what we have been told and what we supposed were the issues.

Subject: teacher needs for EB's
Hey! Sorry it's taken me a minute to get back to you. Thank you for reaching out. Will
you be on campus on Friday?
The biggest struggle teachers have when teaching EB students would have to deal with
vocabulary: using word walls actively, pre-teaching vocabulary, and using clarifiers when
dealing with new words and/or content. Second, I would argue, would be slowing down/wait
time/processing time.
