I am hoping to learn more about that after this lesson.]]> 2021-07-16 10:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_aldrich1/o8ogrq09033xgln5/wish/1652560592 https://padlet.com/jessica_aldrich1/o8ogrq09033xgln5/wish/1657243935 When I have expressed concerns, I have heard "ELL students need more time." Sometimes this occurs even when the child is presenting with repetitive behaviors or demonstrating difficulties with self help skills. Administrators seem to use this as a go-to at times without even observing the student or trusting their staff. I am interested in learning more about this topic. ]]> 2021-07-21 15:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_aldrich1/o8ogrq09033xgln5/wish/1657243935 mullj https://padlet.com/jessica_aldrich1/o8ogrq09033xgln5/wish/1659595992 I have heard expressed that ELL students should always be addressed in English on multiple occasions. 

Quick story: During our last textbook adoption I asked the representative if the virtual books would switch languages when desired. I thought it would be a valuable resource for an ELL student to see the page in English then the same page in their native language with just a click. The representative told me that they only sold one language at a time then replied that "if they haven't learned English by high school, it's time for them to step it up."

Their speaking and dialect was perfectly understandable, but they had trouble with writing assignments that required them to communicate concisely and in a detailed manner. I remember considering whether the preliminary English proficiency tests that such students take before beginning their college career were adequate and truly able to accurately consider whether such students should be required to follow all of the same conventions of English academic writing that native English-speaking students do across all collegiate courses. ]]> 2021-07-23 20:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_aldrich1/o8ogrq09033xgln5/wish/1659649583
