Ana Sanders
My name is Ana Milazzotto Sanders. I have been teaching English as a Second Language for five years at Four Oaks Elementary School. Besides the pull-out program, I have been developing ESL Inclusion classes.I taught Portuguese as a Second Language for about fifteen years at the Graded School (an American school in Brazil). I have a Master’s degree in Education with a focus in ESL from Michigan State University. I have been trained for Reading Recovery, and I am working now on my AIG (gifted and talented) certification. I am a natural advocate for the English Language Learners, and I fight for quality instruction for them and have high expectations of my students. They can be very successful when they break the language barrier walls down. I participate in the training of new ESL teachers in our county as well as some mainstream teachers for ESL modifications.
