One small thing I can do in service of diverse learners is to start conversations with my staff around how are we serving the ELs at our school. Since the majority of our second language learners are fairly high functioning, our teachers don't necessarily know what to do when they get someone with limited English or if they struggle.

(Example: have students answer in complete sentences, provide sentence frames and/or sentence stems to students, provide anchor charts of conversational moves, etc.)]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099408 One very small thing I did was share the dashboard with my grade level team so we could look at the performance of our English Language Learners. jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099409 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099409 Kathleen jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099410 The "one small thing" I did since our last meeting was to post the ELD circles in my classroom and think about it and what it represents in my classroom. ]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099410 Christina jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099411 I recently went to my district EL Teacher leader training where I learned of some new talk moves posters and supports. I downloaded, copied and garnered time at next faculty meeting to share and begin using as adults and with students to up the language in our school.]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099411 Kim jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099412 One small thing that I did in my new teacher trainings was to remind teachers that ELD students are entitled to 45 minutes of ELD instruction every day. Also, we read an article called "Student Work" that talks about the way teachers look at student work and how it affects our perception of student success or lack of. The teachers who looked at student work as "the student got it or didn't get it" tend to put blame on kids such as home life, poor attendance rather than teachers who saw student work as an approving approach. We talked in great length about how we could support our student were they are, rather than looking to outside factors to explain failures.]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099412 Sara Menendez jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099413 The one small thing that I did was meet with my grade level partner to make leveled ELD groups. One group is Emerging students & Expanding and Bridging students. We will start our 30 minute ELD block ( twice a week) , next week and will use Wonders ( L.A curriculum) books to model sentence deconstruction. ]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099413 Lisa jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099414 One small thing I did to help service my EL's is that I have been focusing on getting my struggling readers that are two levels below. I am using 
the Wonders materials at their level for small group instruction. Ex-decodables and matching content readers to themes from other grades. They are also using the online practice at their level. ]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099414 Allie Helgren jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099415 One small thing I did to help service my english learners in my classroom is that I provided them with sentence frames for their planning portion of their writing]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099415 Esther jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099416 One small thing I can do in service of diverse learners is to share the best practices I learn from CRLP with my TAs and grad students and to incorporate some of these best practices into my own teaching.

]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099416 One small thing I did was create a space for students to use academic conversations in groups to explain their thinking and give each other feedback. This helps El's learn from EO's jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099417 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099417 jcostantino https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099418 One small thing, that will be a big thing, is encouraging conversation (academic and other) between my beginning Els and the students, but especially teachers. Working with the EL teacher/coordinator to set expectations while also respecting cultural traditions. ]]> 2017-11-09 00:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205099418 Kim https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205108027 I was so inspired after last week's teacher meeting, the next morning, I shared the Spanish-English Biliteracy Transfer article and English alphabet sound card with our EL Coach.  We had such a deep, meaningful conversation about how the information could help all teachers, especially the new dual immersion teachers at our district.  The EL Coach asked if she could share the information with her dual immersion teachers and of course, I was happy to do so.  Yay!  Knowledge is power!

I have shared this with several teachers at my school.  ]]> 2017-11-09 01:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205108044 huizarc https://padlet.com/jcostantino/2017OneSmallThing/wish/205108191 I led a PD yesterday at my site around meeting the needs of our EL's.

The theme was how do people figure things out, so I found books about how to build things. We practiced finding facts by rereading parts of the story. They also were able to partner read their books.
