1. How does one differentiate for a student that may have gaps in knowledge and not on a step, in a way that is inclusive and respectful to the student? 

2. In order to maintain a commitment to student learning and increase professional knowledge, I wonder if it should be mandatory for teacher's teaching ELL's to have taken an AQ on teaching ELLs?

3. How can a teacher use professional knowledge to effectively assess ELLs at various levels of STEP and also in tow with the appropriate Grade expectations of a subject curriculum? For example, ELL at Step 1 and Grade 8 core French?

4. In order to maintain trust with parents, how can teacher's effectively maintain communication with parents who do not speak English and who speak many different languages?

This was really important because as I was reflecting on a student I had, I placed him in the ELD program due to his limited schooling. Understanding the differences between the two also help to understand the mandatory resources that are available to you as a teacher for example: tutoring is available in the ELD program. 
Additionally, I also learned the difference between refugee and migrant. I think this is important because it provides teachers with a richer understanding of where their students are coming from and the situation that their students and families face. Great document for this was: The Capacity Series: Students with a Refugee Background. ]]> 2018-07-11 00:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269890251 erlisacaku https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269890839 Ministry Resource: Supporting English Language Learners]]> 2018-07-11 00:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269890839 erlisacaku https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269891362 Capacity Series: Supporting Students with Refugee Background]]> 2018-07-11 00:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269891362 1.5 and 1.7 Policies and Procedures erlisacaku https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269892259 The document English Language Learners ELD/ESL programs and services is a policy that boards must follow.
It was interesting to see how written policy is put into action by different boards. For example, many boards have different ways of registering newcomers for example some have Welcome Centers set up. In Peel, I would like to examine further the Policies surrounding ELLs with special needs. I have read that they have a Step 7 in place and come to understand that a bit better but would still like to gain a deeper understanding of the actual process.
 
A new learning was section 49.1 of the Education Act which mandates that every child regardless of immigration status (even unlawfully) must attend school in Canada and the duties of the teacher to inform students and families that they have a right to education.]]> 2018-07-11 00:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269892259 erlisacaku https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269893034 Limited Prior Schooling Ministry Resource]]> 2018-07-11 00:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269893034 PDSB ELL information erlisacaku https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269893285 Videos and information regarding the registration and ELD/ESL programs]]> 2018-07-11 00:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269893285 Beginning Resources to Support Inquiry Questions erlisacaku https://padlet.com/erlisacaku/6fqmwpbitnr1/wish/269893734 Segment 7: Adapting the Classroom Program for ELLs.
