Meet the Presenter

Nicole Bell, Coordinator/Executive Director, Mid-West RBERN

She was a music teacher for 4 years before she decided to get her masters in TESOL at Nazareth College. Following grad school, Nicole was an ENL teacher for several years as a Wayne-Finger Lakes (WFL) BOCES itinerant teacher and several years in the Sodus Central School District. She served as the coordinating teacher for the WFL ENL Teacher Consortium and was very committed to family engagement practices with ELLs and their families. Additionally, her interest areas include culturally responsive teaching, bilingual techniques in the classroom, the Latinx student experience, and migrant education.
