Also, in terms of ELL, I never knew about the STEP framework and that there is a full on process for achieving academic success specifically for ELL. Now I think and know that in order for a student to be successful in their learning we need to look at their strengths as well and for educators use the STEP framework! https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534529 2020-08-13 12:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534529 I used to think that ELL learners needed instruction outside of the classroom. I now think that inclusion within a classroom is an essential component to ELLs feeling valued, a sense of belonging and give them the opportunity to increase both their social and academic language in an effective manner. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534532 2020-08-13 12:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534532 I used to think https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534579 2020-08-13 12:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534579 I used to think that Teachers were solely responsible for integrating ELL's into the learning environment in an inclusive, safe way. Now I understand that many people from assessment centers, student guides/ambassadors, and more also share the responsibility. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534591 2020-08-13 12:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534591 I used to think that teaching English language learners was difficult and required a lot of p https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534593 2020-08-13 12:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534593 I used to think that https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534605 2020-08-13 12:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534605 https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534617 I used to think

I now know the teacher plays a large responsibility in the learning process of ELLs

]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534636 I used to think the best way to introduce newcomers was having them talk about themselves. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534639 Now I think the best way to introduce them is to allow them to speak if they wish, but to incorporate all of the student's backgrounds into the class. ]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534639 https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534666 I used to view ELL learners as sponges that needed to be taught the English language and be taught how to adjust to canadian culture. 

I now view them as ASSETS for others to learn from, and view their experiences as equally valuable. ]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534666 I used to think that putting up words for different languages of words like hello or good morning was just to show how we can be multicultural https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534675 Now I think that it is to make the students feel more comfortable around one another and to let them know that they are always welcome in the classroom]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534675 I used to think https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534695 That there were not too many students who were struggling with the english language 

Now I know.. that many are speaking a different language at home, and have had a difficult time with it in the past or present]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534695 I used to think that ell learners will have a hard time getting up to date with what will be going around them. However, my mindset was the one that was not ready to understand that I can create the environment that can benefit them and help them. In fact, once upon a time we were all learners, and I believe that the environment that we are situated in helps us from benefiting or discouraging the tasks that we do. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534703 2020-08-13 12:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534703 I used to think if you were an ELL, you would be constantly out of class and not be able to learn what your peers are learning. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534705 Now I think you can bring ELL into the classroom and be able to teach them at the same time they are learning english words]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534705 I used to think that torresreacassandra https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534713 2020-08-13 12:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534713 I used to think that https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534740 2020-08-13 12:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534740 I used to think ELL learners were only the immigrant students who were learning English for the first time and not the students who were born here but speak a different native language. Now I think that a large majority of students are ELL, we need to be more diligent in delivering curriculum with that in mind so that we can best accomodate and teach ELL learners. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534747 2020-08-13 12:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534747 I used to think that ELL was only for newcomers. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534758 Now I now that it is also used for some Canadian born

I thought ELL were only immigrants. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534804 Now I think that teaching English must be a consideration throughout the entire classroom and every lesson. And the students AND teacher are essential for the success of the ELL. Also, that it is important to support their heritage and ensure that the ELL values it. I also now know that many ELL are from Canada.]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534804 I used to think of ways to support ELLs only. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534811 Now I think ALL Learners should be included in creating an inclusive environment for linguistic diversity in class.]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534811 https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534838 I used to think that the percentage of English language learners in the classroom was much lower than it actually is.

Now I think this should happen simultaneously while the classroom teacher is sharing the lesson. https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534935 2020-08-13 12:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534935 I used to think ELL would have different assignments https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534938 Now I think that the best way for ELL to learn is through the same processes]]> 2020-08-13 12:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/joanne_kim1/ugi5rqmcg0j7f7be/wish/678534938 i used to think that you only had to look for the negative signs or signs of struggle for someone who needs supports.

Therefore a wide range of support should be offered to these individuals to ensure academic success
