// · huge challenges to changing the established traditions and a much-needed focus on ESL and welcoming/accommodating different cultural practices · raised many cultural conflicts within the schools (bullying, fighting, racism…) · changes in curriculum, including new language classes (ex. inclusivity, multiculturalism, social studies…) · need for counselors in the case of refugees from war/disaster-torn places · teachers having to adapt lessons and resources more. · teachers need to be much more flexible and inquisitive in order to be successful · needing new resources (meaning $) if committed to offering a good experience -// Don't neet more money, but a change in foucs in resources.
