Write down things you learn about the student. If you see there is someone without information, try to learn more about them! https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707142277 2021-08-31 13:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707142277 Incorporate student interests into questions and activities. For example, if one knows a student is struggling with reading concepts, but you know they love a certain video game, you can incorporate something from that game into questions or when you work with them individually. https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707143375 2021-08-31 13:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707143375 Embracing and educating students on different cultures and holidays. https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707178593 2021-08-31 14:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707178593 Holidays, celebrations lsherman36 https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707181257 Talking about different holidays.

]]> 2021-08-31 14:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1707181257 I think it's important to emphasize how we have skills-based standards in ELA. As such, our amazing novel and literature context is important and relevant, but our assessment should focus on student skill development. I guess I'm talking about a teacher having a sense of content pedagogy and not just content or pedagogy.-- Gary https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1743042729 2021-09-15 14:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1743042729 Standard 2 https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1743058896 Provide opportunities for students to write and record experiences that affect their perspective, especially in relation to traditions and language that is particular to their own environment.
Always provide visible artifacts that are representative of various cultures and ethnicities.]]> 2021-09-15 15:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1743058896 SCIENCE: The middle school science department works collaboratively using Google Docs. This way great ideas can be shared across district. Another way to promote a positive learning environment in science is to ensure the safety of students by being organized and providing appropriate safety equipment. kmales1 https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753834545 2021-09-20 12:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753834545 Standard 2 https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753834850 In an elementary classroom, the teacher can spend time getting to know their students and backgrounds. It may be a good idea to send out a beginning of the year survey or questionnaire to learn about their background information. Then, teachers can select mentor texts and create activities that include all cultures and diversities. Something that I do, especially during the holiday season, is I invite parents in to celebrate different holidays. For example, I have had parents come in to assist the students making gingerbread cookies. Other parents have come in to complete a project about Diwali. ]]> 2021-09-20 12:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753834850 Assessment https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753836284 Different types of assessments help the teacher is check on the understanding students have.  Different types of assessments are good to reach the range of learners, such as formal and informal assessment (thumbs up, turn and talk, open response, multiple choice, etc).]]> 2021-09-20 12:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753836284 Super-clear means of communication with parents: Back-to-School Night, Syllabus, newsletters, emails.

For English in particular, we can share information from workshops and faculty meetings the team has attended over the years. For content requiring prior knowledge (such as the 8th grade unit on the Holocaust), teachers can be sure to meet and discuss all materials prior to the start of instruction. For tasks such as RST or Literary Analysis writing, teachers can share practices and materials that have been beneficial to students over the years. ]]> 2021-09-20 12:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753843828 Instruction https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753844815 There are many different types of learners so it is important to make sure you are tailoring your lessons to your high and low learners. Also, make sure you have visual, kinesthetic, etc. lessons. We can support the teachers by tailoring our lessons to show this type of planning in our instruction.]]> 2021-09-20 12:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753844815 https://padlet.com/ereilly36/gp62ezn2818zep9m/wish/1753846612 Encourage development of lessons with social emotional learning in mind.
