• strengths, interests and career goals as well as age
• courses that encourage student participation such as music, health and
physical education, art and international languages
-  Student-created texts
can be combined with digital photos or illustrations and can also be transformed into
dual language books.
- Have the student produce visuals or bring in personal photographs. This
acknowledges their experiences and allows them to share their lives outside
the school context.
-Inviting students to use their first language also eases the social and emotional
transition into a formal school setting.]]> 2019-04-23 20:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sford_8/jqfleqj2u6y0/wish/353535408 What should an Educator know? sford_8 https://padlet.com/sford_8/jqfleqj2u6y0/wish/353535458 -These students come from many regions of the world – from countries experiencing war,
conflict or environmental catastrophes
-Sometimes the chronic trauma they have experienced manifests in anger, inability to concentrate, avoidance and emotional unresponsiveness
-English Literacy Development (ELD) is a program for English language learners
who have had limited opportunities to develop language and literacy skills in their first language.
- Building on student knowledge and experience, educators have found that students can
become highly engaged in school and school life when given the opportunity to
share information about themselves and their experiences.
