Parkview Elementary School Teacher Effective In Teaching ESL
Cathy Lehmer, 60, of Sedalia, helps pupils who speak other languages learn English, empowering them to make the most of their education.
For five years, Lehmer has taught English to children whose first language is Spanish or Ukrainian. She spent four years at Parkview Elementary School as an instructor of English for speakers of other languages (ESOL). She is working this year at Washington Elementary School as a long-term substitute for the regular ESOL teacher, who is on maternity leave.
Lehmer collected her first round of pupils, four kindergartners, from their classrooms one day last month. She commented on the earrings of one pupil and asked another about how he had gotten to school that day.
