4A3) My school has provided training on EL strategies to 3rd grade teachers. They are writing language objectives and modifying instruction/assignments based on student need. The next step is to continue this with 4th and 5th grade teachers. #Ellchat_BkClub#TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
3A6) Planning differentiated instruction is most essential to meet individual student needs. I’d like to know more about teaching strategies and how to promote critical thinking among students so they have more control over their own learning. #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
3A1)Principal 1 speaks most strongly to me. I have EL students of varying proficiency levels who speak a number of different languages. Getting to know my students allows me to tailor instruction and build on students’ background knowledge. #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
@Toppel_ELD Our 3rd grade teachers just received training on creating language targets/objectives and providing sentence frames. We've already received positive feedback that this has been helpful for all students, not only ELs! #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
@RyanMoo25567760@JanetHo77829297 I agree that many teachers struggle with how to teach EL students. Our district provides great training but it is often optional. With a rapidly growing EL population, I wish mandatory training was provided. #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
2A1) I used to rely a lot on teacher talk and explaining things orally to my students. Now, I use a lot of visuals and provide time for student conversations. When necessary, I provide support with sentence frames/starters. #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
2A5) I can create a welcoming environment that values students’ cultures/native languages. I can provide visuals, charts, gestures, and demonstrations. I can draw on students' background knowledge. I can provide support with sentence frames. #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
1A1) Our EL population is growing rapidly and all of our content area teachers have not been trained to teach ELs. This year, 3rd grade teachers are being trained on effective EL strategies. We’ll add on an additional grade level each year. #Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps#BCSDESOL
#Ellchat_BkClub, #TESOL6Ps 1A4) The EL population at my school has greatly increased in a short amount of time. Teachers are receiving training for how to help ELs succeed in the classroom. It's a work in progress but our amazing staff is eager to learn!
I'm so excited to be a winner! Thank you @JBEducation for donating books and making this possible! I will be starting my journey as an ESL teacher next year, so the ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide will be the perfect summer read! https://t.co/Fr88v1IbyR
ELL Teacher's Toolbox Bingo Board) I never did quite get the hang of navigating this on Google Docs but I still enjoyed getting BINGO! I just had to get creative with my photo! #Ellchat_bkclub 11.0 #ELLteacherstoolbox

@Larryferlazzo@KHullSyp There are so many things to love about this book! The shear abundance of strategies is my favorite! Also, that they are beneficial for ELL students (of course) but can help all students as well! #Ellchat_bkclub 11.0 #ELLteacherstoolbox
