I chose to have this resource because I think using this in my classroom would be beneficial. It would help the students with their oral language while they are having fun!

I chose this for my resource because I think it would help my students with their readings in many ways. There are so many different things they can do with the readers workshop that would keep them interested and excited!

TELPAS

I chose these for my resources because the first one explains the levels of proficiency in rating from the TELPAS samples. The second one is a guide to assess the progress of ELL students and the requirements for each grade level in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

SOLOM

ORAL LANGUAGE

carlypickett — 2023-09-14 15:07:46 UTC

I chose the first one as a resource because learning the different vocabulary tiers will be helpful to a students speaking by helping them learn more words they can use when speaking about something or to someone. I chose the SOLOM because it can help me learn where my students are at with their oral language and what more I could do for them to help.

WHY I CHOSE THESE

carlypickett — 2023-09-20 20:57:56 UTC

I chose the first link to use for a resource because having a guideline for writing language objectives would be nice to look at to make sure I am doing it correctly so I can make sure I am doing my best work for my students. I chose the second link because I think tier vocabulary is super important for students to learn. You can teach tier vocabulary in any class. Tier vocabulary is what builds the students vocabulary for their whole life and is important for every subject in school.

WHY I CHOSE THESE

carlypickett — 2023-10-01 15:57:50 UTC

I chose these because they give great resources on different vocabulary words that can be presented in the classroom for Math. Since it is its own subject, it will have more vocabulary words pertaining to it and will give teachers a great resource for the specific math vocabulary words.

WHY I CHOSE THESE

carlypickett — 2023-10-01 15:59:45 UTC

I chose these because using the old STAAR tests to review is resourceful for the teachers so they can see where they are in their lesson and what the student should be learning. I chose the vocabulary resource as well because like math, science has their own vocabulary words that students need to learn as well and can be very resourceful for teachers when viewing what are coming up soon.

METHODS

carlypickett — 2023-10-08 16:29:28 UTC

These methods are what I think would be helpful in my classroom for social studies with eb/el students. The reason I think this is because one of my resources helps me with how to introduce role playing into the classroom, like a fake election, for my students to be able to get a better understanding. The other resource that I have I chose because it gives me different strategies on how I can support my students while they are learning social studies. Support for eb/el students is important and having some extra tips on how to do so is never a bad idea.

ESL

carlypickett — 2023-10-18 19:33:43 UTC

I chose the first resource to include because it gives some more background information into summative assessments for English learners and why it is important for them. It lists out many different reasons why it is important and also includes how to record summative assessments. I chose the second resource because it is and interpretive guide for score reports that ELL students can view themselves and get a better understanding. It goes into detail about all the scores and the proficiency level and scale score and it helps students understand where they need to be on those scales.
