Many factors at individual and family level have been found to increase the risk of ESL. Most prominent factor is low socio-economic status. However, ESLs are a heterogeneous category that contains a variety of subgroups (no single ‘profile’ exists) with very different needs and trajectories which should be taken into account.

Teacher self-reflection
The reflection is considered as the opposition of insistence on automated, established patterns of behaviour. Self-reflection of teachers includes reflecting their day’s work as well as their social and emotional competences and responses. Teacher self-reflection is related with students’ achievements and their wellbeing in school and therefore important also for prevention of ESL.
