I will like to use more TPR in my lessons, and provide cognates with sentence stems. I loved seeing the accommodated anchor charts that were provided in the simulation lesson. These are a few strategies I would like to implement next week because they were a huge support in helping me understand the instructor's lesson.

I am willing to commit myself to bring in sentence stems to all the lessons available in order to build vocabulary and language recognition to my ELs. I choose this strategy because it enables the students to feel confident in their writing and also if they were to speak they have the correct grammar structure. 💗 JR.

One strategy I commit to using with my EL’s next week is providing sentence fragments. I chose that because I my EL student is a beginner EL and has difficulty writing in English. A sentence starter or sentence fragment will help him write a complete sentence and understand the key term better without just having to copy a friends work.

I commit to use writing interventions with my students. I chose that because writing is something they will have to do throughout their educational career for any subject. Many students know how to express themselves verbally, or through drawing but not necessarily through writing. Building on their vocabulary will help them get used to using more rigorous vocabulary in their daily language that when they write it will just come naturally. Especially EL’s who sometimes struggle to find the correct verbiage. Sentence stems and word banks will help greatly with this goal because it will get them used to starting a sentence properly and will help them get a clear point across.

# data[].attributes.body
One Intervention I commit to supporting my students with would be in vocabulary. Working on some new exercises we learned today during training.

I used to think education for ESL students was separate from General education but now I know that is just incorporated.

Two facts I learned about the topic is that 1. Accommodations for EL’s is a civil right.
2. TELPAS is used to monitor language proficiency and progress.

Something I wasn’t sure about at the start of the training but understand now is how to scaffold.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I wasn’t sure about at the beginning of the training but understand now is that there are a variety of different ways to help students achieve higher levels of English proficiency. Sentence stems have never been my strength. But this training has helped remind me how important they are. I am still learning, but I am trying to get better at using sentence stems effectively.

I used to think that there was a very specific or narrow curriculum to cultivate as an ESL paraprofessional since I’m still very new at this, but now I know that there is a wide variety of techniques and objectives to help a newcomer navigate their journey to their highest goals, depending on the uniqueness of their level.

The top three ideas I remember from today’s lesson are the word bank for teaching synonyms to students, the emojis for symbolizing character’s feelings in stories, and the roving paragraphs for helping students write complete paragraphs on a topic.
