Many times students are unclear of what the classroom teachers expectations are. However,  after  the teacher has spent some time task modeling, the majority of the students have more confidence when starting the assignment or task. In my opinion, this strategy would work really well for whole group instruction. I can see myself using task-modeling before an assignment is handed out.]]> 2018-08-25 04:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275298242 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275298382 This technique is a something else I have witnessed being successful in different classrooms of all different grade levels. However, I see this technique used with the first graders on a daily basis during their small group time. I feel like this is an effective strategy for students who really need that extra one-on-one modeling from the classroom teacher or support staff. The students are able to work at their own pace, but the teacher is available to model or break down the assignment or task step-by-step. Which is important, especially for our students who struggle to understand the first couple times a task is modeled. ]]> 2018-08-25 04:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275298382 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275298734 One thing that I really loved that was shared in the Multicultural and Multilingual Learners video was when the classroom teacher talked about how she feels like it's important to establish Rules, Routines and Structures because when you have made your goals and expectations clear, students feel more comfortable in your classroom. They know exactly what is expected of them which causes less anxiety of not knowing what to do. I think it's important for all classroom teachers, regardless of the students you teach to apply this strategy and make the classroom goals and expectations clear from day one. I definitely plan on implementing this is my future classroom. ]]> 2018-08-25 04:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275298734 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275299047 This video was probably my favorite of the resources. I loved how the video gave you a glimpse of a real classroom that had students of different cultures and who spoke different languages. A couple things that really stuck with me after watching this video is when the teacher talked about how simple things such as: pronouncing the students names correctly, learning a few words in their language, displaying their work, and SMILING could make such a BIG difference. Loved the idea of having labels around the room in different languages as well - such a neat idea. Something else that I will most definitely be implementing in my future classroom is establishing classroom goals and expectations from day one. Rules, Routines and Structure play an important role in making ELL students feel more at ease in the classroom.

I loved how it was straight to the point and not super wordy - sometimes when articles are broken into "tips" they get lengthy. 
I appreciated how this article reminded you of simple things to remember when teaching ELL. One thing I think is extremely important to remember no matter what students you have in your classroom, is to be aware of their social and emotional needs. It's easy to forget sometimes that some of our students lives outside of school aren't the greatest. Some of them have bigger responsibilities to worry about outside of school than getting their homework done. So that was definitely a good reminder for me. Another tip that I enjoyed was Tip 4: students need Speaking Writing Reading Listening (SWRL) every day in every class. Loved how this article also mentioned the use of visuals (menus, bus schedules, post-cards, photos, and video clips) to help ELL in learning. ]]> 2018-08-25 04:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275299225 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275299754 One fact in this article that was quite interesting to me was that by 2025.. 1 in 4 students will come to school needing to learn English. I was also unaware that ELL students are no longer a minority in schools today. Some other things I learned from reading this article was that small groups are an effective learning strategy for ELL students, if you make a wide variety of English books available to ELL students in your classroom to get them interested in reading. Once they have started reading, you can use conversations about some of their favorite reads to engage them in natural language conversations by asking them different questions about their favorite books/characters, etc ]]> 2018-08-25 05:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275299754 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275300116 This video helped guide me to chose a couple of my teaching/learning strategies for future classroom with ELL students. I appreciated how this video gave really great examples and definitions of different modeling types. Three of the modeling types I can see myself using in my future classroom include: Task modeling, Metacognitive modeling, and Model as a Scaffolding Technique. A couple of these I have seen being implemented in different classrooms and almost 9 times out of 10, they're a successful technique. Visuals, charts, quick writes, and partner activities were all shared in this video as well which again, are all things I plan to incorporate into my future classroom. ]]> 2018-08-25 05:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275300116 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275300317 This video touched more on using graphic organizers, visuals and manipulatives, giving students time to process their thoughts, and ways to enrich vocabulary in the classroom. ]]> 2018-08-25 05:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275300317 cammi_palmer https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275300451 Pros of multicultural education were discussed (reduction of fear, ignorance and personal detachment) as well as the Cons (feelings of resentment by some students) The article also discussed what multicultural education would look like. ]]> 2018-08-25 05:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cammi_palmer/9dclwfa3w9ko/wish/275300451
