This capstone project aims to support teachers in fostering high expectations for ELLs in a math classroom. Fostering high expectations is a common issue in education due to teachers' beliefs that ELLs are not capable of succeeding because of their cultural and language backgrounds. The goal of this capstone project is to make teachers aware of this issue and how it can be resolved within their own classrooms. The literature review states that this is a common issue due to teachers' initial perceptions of ELLs and the inadequate teacher training programs. The issue is significant due to the impact it has on ELLs such as decreasing their motivation, self-efficacy, and academic achievement outcomes. This capstone project includes a Professional Development which guides teachers to reflect on their mindsets and implement effective teaching methodologies and approaches that foster high expectations within the math classroom.
