ELL ILP by Kaylyn Craig https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp Made with mirth en-us 2019-04-16 18:47:04 UTC 2019-04-17 00:59:16 UTC hello@padlet.com How can classroom teachers best support the needs of ELL students, especially those that do not qualify for outside support? kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352090253 2019-04-16 18:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352090253 In the HDSB, ELL students spend the majority of their day in the mainstream classroom. Students at STEP 1, 2, and 3 may receive a couple periods of support a week. Therefore, it is essential that classroom teachers (who are not required to have ELL qualifications) are well equipped to meet the diverse needs of ELL students. My questions therefore are: kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352090389 2019-04-16 18:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352090389 What resources are available to classroom teachers to assist them with meeting the needs of their ELL students, and how can classroom teachers themselves best be supported? kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352090587 2019-04-16 18:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352090587 Comprehensible output: kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352092155 Learning is within the zone of proximal development (just a little beyond their current level of competence)
-use pictures, concrete objects, meaningful tasks]]> 2019-04-16 18:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352092155 Translanguaging kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352109236 Using multiple languages to communicate simultaneously

-teachers need to create a very inclusive classroom environment where diversity is celebrated and seen as an asset to the class
-Teachers need to provide positive reinforcement
-Teachers should help student set attainable goals so as to not overwhelm or discourage ELL students]]> 2019-04-16 19:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352114210 General tips: kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352118025 -provide ELL students with plenty of opportunities to listen to English and take part in small group discussions
- have open and consistent communication with parents
-regularly assess ELL students and have flexible programming that consistently meets each individual ELL students needs
-regularly assess students using STEP and adjust programming accordingly]]> 2019-04-16 19:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352118025 Where to look: kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352163627 -There is a wealth of information available through the internal HDSB site. 
-A resource for classroom teachers that has a lot of other suggested resources within: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwknHmaClgi9RS0zRkwtNWdSS2RoMDY3cHBMMGxteEVpaWZz/view]]> 2019-04-17 00:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352163627 Initial thoughts kaylynbell https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352163754 I think what is required is some PD dedicated to ELL resources. Teachers need to be given specific time to explore and read the resources that are available.  I believe that designated time to explore all the resources is essential. PD could be on PD days, during staff meetings, or possibly release time with the ESL teacher. ]]> 2019-04-17 00:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylynbell/9lnqzc52iqrp/wish/352163754
