Just Some Hard Hitting Teacher Journalism by Chantelle Vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop Just some questions I need to get the bottom of! en-us 2018-11-13 15:55:51 UTC 2018-12-07 19:41:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Question 1 chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303826888  How can I truly build upon an ELL's  Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency,  if they have significant gaps in their education or no substantial school experience? ]]> 2018-11-13 16:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303826888 Thoughts that keep my mind awake... chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303828898 This is something I struggle with because I feel as though it is a double whammy! I feel like we are depending a lot of a child who has been displaced, in a whole new country. They not only have to understand the language but also have to understand curriculum! That is a tough pill to swallow. I want to find ways that make this as seamless and comfortable for the student as possible! ]]> 2018-11-13 16:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303828898 Resource #1 chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303831526

How can I create a partnership with a parent who cannot speak the language? ]]> 2018-11-13 16:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303834947 Another day, another thought... chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303837386 I find creating partnerships with parents, in general, can sometimes be challenging, if the parent(s) is not willing to collaborate on the learning with their child. For instance, reading with their child or completing fun activities at home, that help the student's learning abilities. I feel like having an ELL parent would make that even tougher because not only are you telling them about what their child is like in school, but you are also explaining curriculum ideas that they can do with their child at home , which they may not understand or have time to do ( they may be working a lot to support their family, like many families at my LTO were)]]> 2018-11-13 16:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303837386 Resource#1 chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303840936 https://www.luc.edu/media/lucedu/education/pdfs/languagematters/Seidler&Strauts-ELDL.pdf --> while this article is geared towards Spanish speaking families in America, the first part of the pamphlet has great ideas about connecting with parents of ELL student (i.e. inviting them to participate on school trips, or classroom visits for periods )]]> 2018-11-13 16:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303840936 Resource #2 chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/303841578 http://inservice.ascd.org/five-ways-to-empower-and-engage-parents-of-ell-students/
--> I like that this has defined ideas for families to connect with the teacher and classroom.
EXAMPLES:
  1. Tap into family’s funds of knowledge
  2. Prepare a long-term plan for ELL parental involvement.

This source is all about empowering an ELL parent to teach their child literacy through using just their L1 language. The point of literacy is not about learning the english language, it is about learning the elements of reading and writing and understanding. For example, a parent story telling to their child, telling stories through the use of only pictures, taking their to the library and accessing their resources ]]> 2018-12-06 19:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/311997082 Resource 2 chantelle_vaughan https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/311997215 http://www.colorincolorado.org/article/encouraging-and-sustaining-ell-parent-engagement

This source is all about getting an ELL parent involved in their child's learning in simple steps, despite not understanding the language. It goes through things they can do such as setting up "homework" areas in their home, where their child can complete studies, hw, etc. and the parent can over see it to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to do. It also goes suggests encouraging parents to do classroom visits, volunteering.]]> 2018-12-06 19:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chantelle_vaughan/s3up4iexvjop/wish/311997215
