I really enjoyed the teaching collaboration between the two presenters.  They bounced off each other well. Their activities were short and they incorporated listening, speaking, reading and writing into the PD. The presenters reflected with us after each activity and reviewed the lesson as a whole.

I liked that the session challenged us to come together as a team and bounce ideas off of each other. I've also taken away a couple engagement strategies I can apply within the classroom.

We learnt many strategies to handle students better in the new semester about the academic teaching. For today, I think interaction is super important for them to understand the target content.

Pathway to empathy is definitely a good reminder to plan lessons and activities around the first week/orientation stage. Planning lessons and activities around these will ensure that you build up a solid class community.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the lessons are delivered in the format of the strategies that we are learning.  It makes it so real and easy to remember

Looking forward to picking up a whole range of strategies to employ in my day to day practice.

Take away: Still buying into the idea of co-teaching.

First exercise made me feel how the EAL students might feel and how can they be frustrated, helps me to understand them well and knows how to help them, the rest give a clear structure how a teacher should be doing to prepare teaching.

Use the students' most comfortable language to build the background of learning targets, letting students understand what gona happen in class. Try to have more interaction between teacher and students/between students to know the students better including their language skills and personalities!

I really like last activity. I think they are all very important.

One of the main takeaways from this session is how they used co-teacher strategies to deliver the lesson, explain instructions and maintain engagement of the "learners"

The use of problem solving in groups. Can be especially helpful with English language learners.

1. For the first day of a school, in my classroom I will use BUILDING BACKGROUND first to let everyone knows each other, knows the classroom and knows the school.
2. Then I will use INTERACTIONS to know the students better so as to know better about their language, personalities and behaviors.
3.I will group them according to my observation and interac

Model is the same important as oral teaching. I will try the debate way to let students know deeply what they have learned, and which will motivate them to inquire more knowledge they need.

# data[].attributes.body
I really put myself into students position，when I learn a new language and I get lost in the class，I feel anxious the same as the students. So we should build a good background with students. Make them free to use their own language to learn the new language.

I love the idea of turning discussions into a more lively/competitive activity thru the use of debates. I also want to challenge my EAL students this year to create m

The use of the balloon debate was fun and engaging, and could be adapted to many learning situations.

The use of different instructional strategies such as graphic organisers, learning objectives etc... will be helpful when giving instructions to students

We can use the group debating to inspire the students to learn some concepts .I totally understand the non-English speakers 's difficulties when they first learn English .

My take away was a fresh reminder to provide students with multiple ways to intake, explore, and show their learning.

Thank you! The balloon debate was great. It helped me to think about what is important when teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
My take away from this session is remembering how it feels like not understanding all that is said in the class room and use more modelling, explaining and asking questions to make sure all students understand the task given. Also remember the reason students disturb most probably is that they do not understand what they are supposed to work on and how and they need more support.

I like the debate strategy that was used as a way of doing the reading activity. It was engaging and I felt like all of the team members discussed and made notes preparing for their roles in the debate and it was also a great way to get people listening to the other groups.
Besides that, I also enjoyed how you explained all of the activities using multiple models for better comprehension. I can definitely use that in my classroom.
Thanks guys! :-)

The need to show empathy toward all students at all levels of language understanding

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from this session is the importance of including a multitude of different strategies to best reach the largest variety of learners possible - as well as not conflating learning objectives with language objectives.

Strategies that were shown include collaboration, graphic organization, discussion, etc.

I am excited for us all together to take this potion of learning. I look forward to our shared visions and conversations about the components of the SIOP protocol. I also am inspired about the co-teaching modeling we are seeing and look forward to our teachers exploring more in that arena.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most important things I can take from this sessions is focusing on the student and their learning process, something that while on task, most teachers tend to forget to do. It is important to make their learning process significant and make them the center of their learning process.

Strategies modeled included applying differentiation strategies, group and teaching collaboration, use of visual aids, graphic organizers. translanguaging.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from this session is that there are many different teaching strategies and that by trying different strategies you can find which ones work well to  help students learn better.

Some of the strategies that were used today were collaboration, graphic organisation and discussion.

I think that this training gave me many creative ideas that I can take away and apply to my classes. I particularly liked the 'Survivor' game! This game encouraged us to discuss The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol as a small group. From this, it was promoted for us to think creatively about the importance of our designated part of class and which part of class we could leave out. This helped us to work together as a team and bounce of each other's strengths! I will definitely be incorporating this game into my lesson planning for my future classes at BWYA!

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from this is that there are so many different ways of teaching one thing. This can be done through language, visual arts, movement and so much more. This will help ensure students are able to understand not only the topic being taught and what is expected of them. It also helps students to not get bored and become unengaged with the subject.

My main takeaway from this morning is the importance given to the language. We tend to give more importance to one language over another. However, students are more than able to achieve the content objective without necessarily be fluent. Teachers and admin know that L1 is equally as important as L2. The strategies used were multiple, from rephrasing, to using visuals, body language, appropriate voice levels, timing, small group work, ... all in order to activate all components of SWRL.

I thought the session was fun and interactive. I enjoyed the debate and problem solving activity.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaways from the presentation were about using a variety of strategies and techniques for classroom activities. It is important to use reading, writing, speaking and listening in each lesson. Also, group collaboration and discussion can be done in authentic ways.

The strategies I saw implemented were various co-teaching methods, visual aids, using different delivery techniques, modelling the activities, quieting the class using physical cues.

# data[].attributes.body
My main takeaway from the morning session is the idea of implementing a more collaborative, bilingual co-teacher model in my classroom. This will help us ensure that our input is comprehensible and that we appropriately build background knowledge for our students, especially before beginning a new unit. I am hoping this will help with focus, engagement, and behavior management among my ELL students and will also help to build their self-esteem and self-confidence.
