Mr. Munro teaches middle school science in a highly diverse city on the west coast. His classroom composite looks like many other classrooms in America. Two of his students are refugees from Thailand. Many are immigrants from Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe. Others represent a range of racial and ethnic groups. Altogether, seven are ELL students.
