This week's session was all-ESL, all the time, and it was really great. Three of the program's ESL specialists came and I learned a lot. I'll post all of the details soon (I want to make sure that the notes I drafted are accurate & are having them verified) but I'll leave you with this:
ESL sections exist in 102 and 103, and students can move between standard and ESL sections as best suits their needs. In other words, if a student in your 101 whose language skills you thought would suffice hasn't worked out as well as expected (you didn't flag the student and recommend he leave, or she chose not to follow your recommendation) you can strongly recommend that he move to an ESL section for 102.
OK - maybe I'm the only one teaching in the program who was unaware of this, and quite possibly it was intuitive to everyone else, but this give me a great sense of relief.
More detailed update as soon as my notes are cleared with the other participants.
