Hattie Research: Learning Targets fit into the Teacher Clarity: .4 - .7 has shown to have moderate impact. Above .7 has the greatest impact. Items below a .4 can still be beneficial.

The Google Lens App offers real time translation using a cell phones picture function. I am using this now as I venture into learning new languages.

Khan Academy is probably the most prescribed additional support when students are struggling or need more intervention. We also have i-Ready for Math/English as well as AP Classroom.

This was a result of the Law passed in 2019 that focused on levels of support before a student was into a Tier 3 more restrictive environment (SPED, Dream Academy, etc)

This doc was sent out for use during grade communication but includes what Colleen shared to the whole building with translating documents for students. This could also be a tool students themselves are taught to create more in lesson agency for students.

Native Language Support

Allowing and encouraging students to process and communicate using their native language, as well as supporting native language literacy development, maintenance, or growth. As well as allowing the use of translanguaging (i.e., the use of different languages together) in the classroom to access content.

Word Parts

Creating a Word Wall with common scientific language. Could use simplistic English definitions, Spanish, and or pictures.

NewsELA allows you to assign reading assignments and adjust the Lexile level for students. They all read the same info BUT it tailors the level to their individual needs.

Models

Inclusion of models and deriving knowledge from shared experience of the model. This allows for less direct language barrier. also supported with a common science term handout for use when looking over materials.
