How do Canadian educators enforce our principles and moral standards within our classrooms knowing full well they don’t necessarily align with those our Ells are accustomed to?

2. How do we as educators ensure that we treat all ELL students with the same level of maturity and social context our native English-speaking students?

3. How do you foster and promote genuine relationships and collaboration between ELLs and native English speakers within the classroom?

4. How do we ensure a safe and non-judgemental learning environment for all students?

5. How do we effectively assess and differentiate between learning exceptionalities with identified students, and ELL students?

Ross CVI (my school) is the largest in the Upper Grand District School Board and has an extensive International Student program, as well as many ESL classes. In the recent years, Guelph has seen an increase in the amount of refugees moving to the area, particularly families from Syria. I found the Supporting Students with Refugee Backgrounds very informative and relevant to my school's current population.
Although the student I chose to write my narrative on did not have this issue, I found the Supporting English Language Learners with Limited Prior Schooling to be ab excellent resource and support system for these types of students.
The Ontario Curriculum Grades 9 - 12 document is essential for understanding how to appropriately support ELLs in all aspects of their education while in Ontario.]]> 2018-07-10 17:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269866067 ELL Students with Limiting Prior Schooling chris_muller86 https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269867181 2018-07-10 17:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269867181 Refugee Backgrounds chris_muller86 https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269867710 2018-07-10 17:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269867710 Grades 9 - 12 Curriculum chris_muller86 https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269867931 2018-07-10 17:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269867931 ELLs in Mainstream Math chris_muller86 https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269868102 I have had the most experience teaching ELL students in mainstream math classes (MFM1P/2P, MPM1D/2D, and MAT1L/2L).

As I have completed each activity and reviewed my colleagues' work, I am often left with the same question that I believe will be the most important for me to answer as I complete this course. That question is:
How can I create thought provoking and age/proficiency appropriate lesson plans that meet the literacy and numeracy needs of all my students, both native English speakers and ELLs?
Below are some resources that I have researched that will help guide me through answering this question, along with the many other resources obtained so far.]]> 2018-07-10 18:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269871225 Supporting ELLs in the Mainstream Classroom chris_muller86 https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269872631 2018-07-10 18:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269872631 Strategies and Resources for Supporting ELLs chris_muller86 https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269872726 2018-07-10 18:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/chris_muller86/6ijm62tngvvc/wish/269872726
