The key points are to clearly post, refer to, and review learning objectives and language objectives. Multiple levels of English proficiency are set by standards that the students are monitored by model performance indicators. A student’s native language affects his or her language and academic outcomes by being surrounded by other students who are also ELL with the same English acquisition. Students may utilize their home language more in conversations when speaking to classmates who are from the same home language group (Willoughby, 2009). In speaking to other ELL students whose home language is different, ELL students, use English but due to the students’ limitations in their English proficiency, they expose each other to more broken English I will value the instructional power of a word wall by frequently utilizing, maintaining, and updating it.All too often, secondary educators miss important opportunities to build the literacy skills of all students.
Building a bank of “what if” scenarios is a valuable tool in building a solid teaching philosophy. * Discussing teaching cases allows teachers to reflect and think critically about a certain problem without actually having to go through the experience. Helping teachers prepare for possible situations that may arise in the classroom, is a huge benefit to teachers. Knowing ahead of time how to respond to a certain situation helps build confidence and reduces anxiety in the decision making process. Part 2 The Case of Jesus Gonzalez a) Key Factors This case is about a first grade student named Jesus Gonzalez, his family, and teacher, Mrs. Kiffen.
Disinterested rational Will is a matter of having no personal attachments or motives. It is important to Stoics, because to them wisdom consists in thinking of things that happen to you as you would any other even in the World as a necessary part of the world. Chapter 8: 1. Compare & contrast the classical worldview with the
When examining the relationship between Philosophy and curriculum an educator will understand that Philosophy is one of the foundations of education. An educational philosophy is the approach to education. It incorporates the values and ideals that we want to accomplish. The curriculum is the diagram that encompasses the philosophy into the objectives of the lessons. In today’s world educators worry about lacking basic skills in Reading and Mathematics that our students are having and focus more on modern technology and having our students think out of the box.
I believe that teaching reading and writing begins with helping children want the life of a reader and writer. In order to accomplish this goal of developing lifelong readers and writers, I believe it is my responsibility to keep learning about proven research-based literacy programs. I believe that even in Tier I literacy instruction the teacher has the responsibility to differentiate instruction so that the vast array of learning styles and abilities present in the classroom will be nurtured. I believe that the most important part of literacy instruction, whether it be reading or writing, is communication. In reading, the communication is accomplished with strong comprehension skills that involve active participation of the reader as he interacts with the author to create meaning for himself.
Many may say what is English? I consider English to be a valuable aspect of a essential way uof life. Growing up I was the one who was fasinated with leaning how to read and spell, understand parts of English. Learning how to formulate words that would become a sentence. Focusing so hard on excelling in English I was having a hard time acknowledging the basic sentence patterens staying devoted I past it.
BALANCED LITERACY PAPER A balanced literacy program includes aspects of literature-based instruction as well as phonics. Linda Chen and Eugenia Mora-Flores (2006) say that this approach “recognizes the complexities of the act of learning to read and the need to utilize multiple approaches because children learn differently.” There is no one-size-fit all strategy to teach children how to read and write, instead we need to find out the individual needs of each student and give them several strategies to work with. It is our job as educators to provide our children with meaningful opportunities for reading and writing. Before laying out an instruction outline, we need to define our goal. Every year teachers need to
They learn to take risks within the classroom. Where the problem lies, however, is, as Pirie suggests, when teachers do not challenge students to think outside of their own opinion. Teachers have the responsibility move students beyond themselves, recognizing and reflecting back to students that “whatever personal identity any of us has develops within a matrix of circumstances outside our psyches…” (Pirie, 10) and that simply stating what one feels is insufficient. In doing so, teachers can use the English classroom, and the rich literary environment, to teach students about cultural and social responsibility, to show them that in literature, as in life, the actions and interactions between characters or people have real consequences. Most importantly, we
The ELL population is rapidly growing, and it is important that teachers are equipped and ready to teach and assess these ELLs. Assessing ELLs is important because the assessments tell teachers how to make instructional decisions, and how much the child knows and can do (Lenski. 2006, P. 25). It is important for teachers to make sure that the ELL students are continually developing English competence and acquiring content knowledge. Because of the No Child Left Behind act, there are assessment mandates that all teacher must follow, like the Title 1 that requires ELLs attending public schools to be assessed in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and they must also be included in statewide standardized testing.
Learning Style Inventory Paper Jennifer Lomibao Teaching and Learning Strategies-HSN540 Mary Dowell PhD, RN, BC March 26, 2012 Learning Style Inventory Paper Learning style refers to the unique way an individual prefers to learn. This reflects an individual’s predisposition to implement a particular learning strategy despite the specific demands of the class. It is worth noting that the learning styles are conventional modes used to process information by individuals. Because individuals have a unique way of perceiving, organizing, and retaining information, it is imperative that educators effectively design and implement teaching methods that enhance learning to these diverse learners (Billings & Halstead, 2009). Studies show that students perform better in the classroom when their learning styles match the instructional methods implemented by their teacher (Farooq & Regnier, 2011).
