Does anyone think it is realistic to require that a new reading specialist have an ESL background? Our department is trying to create a new "reading specialist" position, and we are not sure if we should incorporate ESL functions into the job duties or make that sort of thing supplementary. Any thoughts on this would certainly be appreciated. Thanks, and happy holidays! ******************************************* Jessica Connor Coordinator of Developmental Writing Nova Southeastern University (954) 262-8351 [log in to unmask]
