Supporting Science and Math Teachers with ELs
This past school year I was an ESL Coach and worked with teachers in a K-12 setting at 12 different schools. I had the opportunity to work hand in hand with science and math teachers weekly at the secondary level. I wish I would have had the opportunity to have taken this course last summer because I feel that I have many more tools in my tool box I could share with these teachers. For the next school year I will be teaching ESL in an elementary setting. I will share many of these the tools I have now with these teachers but I feel the secondary teachers need them even more. I have a couple classrooms in mind that I know the interactive notebooks would be extremely useful in as well as tools like the speaking frames and assessments we used in class. I will share the texts from this class with these teachers in hopes that they gain more knowledge of what it takes for teach the academic content and language at the same time!
Great Job Ginger!
ReplyDeleteI like how you have focused on a few teachers at your school to work on interactive notebooks with, You have to start small in such a big school!
I agree Stephanie -- Ginger you have been a wonderful inspiration to me (You too Stephanie) I know that the teachers at your school will just love the guidance and expertise that you will be able to provide them
