Incorporate student interests into questions and activities. For example, if one knows a student is struggling with reading concepts, but you know they love a certain video game, you can incorporate something from that game into questions or when you work with them individually.

I think it's important to emphasize how we have skills-based standards in ELA.  As such, our amazing novel and literature context is important and relevant, but our assessment should focus on student skill development.  I guess I'm talking about a teacher having a sense of content pedagogy and not just content or pedagogy.-- Gary

In an elementary classroom, the teacher can spend time getting to know their students and backgrounds. It may be a good idea to send out a beginning of the year survey or questionnaire to learn about their background information. Then, teachers can select mentor texts and create activities that include all cultures and diversities. Something that I do, especially during the holiday season, is I invite parents in to celebrate different holidays. For example, I have had parents come in to assist the students making gingerbread cookies. Other parents have come in to complete a project about Diwali.

As mentors, we can share with new teachers strategies and methods of instruction that we have found helpful in the past. For English in particular, we can share information from workshops and faculty meetings the team has attended over the years. For content requiring prior knowledge (such as the 8th grade unit on the Holocaust), teachers can be sure to meet and discuss all materials prior to the start of instruction. For tasks such as RST or Literary Analysis writing, teachers can share practices and materials that have been beneficial to students over the years.

There are many different types of learners so it is important to make sure you are tailoring your lessons to your high and low learners. Also, make sure you have visual, kinesthetic, etc. lessons. We can support the teachers by tailoring our lessons to show this type of planning in our instruction.
