Proficiency Level Descriptors - these are important to refer to when monitoring the progress of the English learners. They also serve as reminders of what students can do at each level of proficiency within each domain of language.

Solom

carolineebruns — 2024-12-07 21:36:09 UTC

The SOLOM rating scale allows teachers to assess students' oral language to see areas what areas they need help with. I can use this in my future classroom to help see where students are at and set goals.

Immersion Strategy

carolineebruns — 2024-12-08 19:23:09 UTC

The immersion strategy video shows the inefficiency of putting a non English speaking student in an English only classroom without any sort of assistance. This has taught me both what to look for when trying to identify students struggling and how as a teacher, EBs and ELs should be taught to better help them understand.

Cognates

carolineebruns — 2024-12-09 02:01:44 UTC

Cognates are a great strategy for reading and writing because they're words that may be familiar to EBs/ELs which creates a bridge for language learning. I selected this tool because I can use the teaching strategies listed such as read aloud, student reading, and follow-up activities in my own classroom.

Lightbulb Experiment

carolineebruns — 2024-12-09 04:48:58 UTC

carolineebruns — 2024-12-09 05:26:35 UTC

In order to give students a fair assessment, it's important to know the criteria of a good test which is why I pulled this graphic organizer from the summative assessment presentation.
