Content Objectives:At the end of this two-day training . . .

You will have an awareness of some challenges ELLs, as well as other students, and teachers of ELLs face in the classroom. You will become cognizant of some strategies for overcoming these challenges.

Language Objectives:During this two-day training . . .

You will interact with your fellow educators demonstrating your new understanding of terms associated with second language acquisition and sheltered instruction.

Getting Started with Sheltered Instruction

LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE: In this section, you will work in collaborative

groups to write down the ideas you already have about sheltered instruction and/or SIOP,

compare them to the new information, and develop a working vocabulary relating to second

language acquisition.

•(Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) – the language of the classroom or of the academic content

One challenge ELL face is…

The States with the highest growth in ELLs are: SC, NC, TN, GA & IN.

1:5 students in the U.S. is the child of an immigrant (Capps et al., 2005)

General student population grew 2.6% between 1995-2005 vs. ELL student population grew 56% (Batalova, Fix & Murray, 2007)

79% of ELs speak Spanish as their L1 followed by: Chinese/Cantonese, Vietnamese, Hmong, Korean and all other languages (National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition, 2006a).

ELLs struggle in school more than any other group except those identified for special education (Gandara & Hopkins, 2010).

More than 80% of ELLs are born in the U.S. and are U.S. citizens (Gandara & Hopkins, 2010).

Since NCLB in 2001, increased number of high school ELs not receiving a diploma because they failed high-stakes tests despite fulfilling all other graduation requirements (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; Center on Education Policy, 2005; Edley & Wald, 2002).

-- Only 30% of all secondary students read proficiently, but for students of color, the situation is worse: 89% of Hispanic students and 86 % percent of African American middle and high school students read below grade level (Perie, Grigg, & Donahue, 2005).-- Since NCLB in 2001, increased number of high school ELs not receiving a diploma because they failed high-stakes tests despite fulfilling all other graduation requirements (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; Center on Education Policy, 2005; Edley & Wald, 2002).

Are We Prepared?

. . .and have adjusted national and state assessments as well as state graduation requirements to reflect new levels of achievement and to accommodate requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act (2001).”

- Echevarria, Vogt, & Short (2008)- Echevarria, Vogt, & Short (2008)

“Academic programs are not well-established, sheltered curricula, and appropriate resources are not readily available; most importantly, many teachers are not trained to meet the needs of these second language learners.”

-Echevarria, Vogt, & Short (2008)

“41.2 % of the 2,984,791 public school teachers reported teaching ELLs, but only 12.5% had had 8 or more hours of training in the past three years on how to support ELLs.”

KNOW YOUR STUDENTS’ KNOW YOUR STUDENTS’ NEEDSNEEDS.

“ . . . remember, that the first step in the instructional process is comprehensive and thoughtful lesson design.”

LANGUAGE OBJECTIVE: In this section, you will write a content and language objective using the ELPS “cheat

sheet”.

1. 1. Content Objectives

Effective instruction requires that “concrete content objectives that identify what students should know and be able to do must guide teaching and learning.”

-Echevarria, Vogt, & Short (2008)What do we call the State standard for “what students should know”?

The skills that the students should “be able to do” are part of the TEKS, and are referred to as . . .

TEKSTEKS Student Expectations Student Expectations (SEs).(SEs).

TEK 4.18 – Students write expository and procedural or work-related texts to communicate ideas and information to specific audiences for specific purposes.

4.18(A)(i) – STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO: create brief compositions that establish a central idea in a topic sentence

Written in a student-friendly format :• Written in terms of what students will learn

or do• Stated simply, both orally AND in writing

standards (TEKS/SEs)• Limit to one or two per lesson to reduce the

complexity of the learning task (reflects something that can be taught and learned in a lesson or two)Content Objectives put the pieces of the

lesson together – a succinct summarization.

1.Start with a specific TEK,2.Focus on the goal of your lesson

that covers that specific TEK, and3.Write a statement in student-

friendly language that expresses the overall goal of the lesson (remember it should be a measurable goal)Ask yourselfAsk yourself: Does this content objective clearly identify what students what students should know should know and and be able to dobe able to do? Will it help guide instruction and learning?

“While carefully planning and delivering content objectives, Sheltered Instruction teachers “must also incorporate in their lesson plans activities that support students’ language development.”

-Short (1999)

ESL ESL TEKSTEKS

ELPSELPS2007

Revised ELPS were approved by the State Board of Education in the 2007-2008 school year.

The ELPS are part of the state-required curriculum.

The ELPS outline the instruction school districts SHALL provide to ELLs in order for ELLs to have the full opportunity to learn English and succeed academically.

The ELPS are to be implemented as an integral part of the instruction in each foundation and enrichment subject of the TEKS.

Teachers teach BOTH, the content area TEKS and the ELPS, in instructing ELLs.

The ELPS define the English language proficiency levels of beginning, intermediate, advanced, and advanced high.

The proficiency levels are in regard to the 4 domains of language which are: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

TELPAS measures the ELPS student expectations from the cross-curricular second language acquisition knowledge and skills and uses the ELPS proficiency level descriptors as assessment rubrics.

The ELPS may be found at

http://www.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter074/ch074a.html

English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS)

Written in a student-friendly format :• Written in terms of what students will learn or

do• Stated simply, both orally AND in writing

Reflects “HOW” the students will practice language during the lesson:• Must be tied to specific proficiency level

language standards (ELPS)• Limit to one or two per lesson to reduce the

complexity of the learning task““We learn primarily through language, and use We learn primarily through language, and use

language to express our understanding.”language to express our understanding.”

-Echevarria, Vogt & Short (2008)-Echevarria, Vogt & Short (2008)

1.Start with a specific domain that will fit with your lesson focus (listening, speaking, reading or writing)

2.Find an ELP that matches your focus domain and your lesson, and

3.Write a statement in student-friendly language that expresses the overall language goal of the lesson (remember, it should be measurable)

Ask yourselfAsk yourself: Does this language objective clearly identify what students what students should be able to do linguisticallyshould be able to do linguistically? Will it help guide language instruction and learning?

When You finish your language objective. Please stand up.

As the music plays, you will move around the room. When the music stops, you will introduce yourself to the closest person to you. It must be someone with whom you’ve not spoken today.You will share you content, language objective, content concepts and sentence stems. You will listen to the feedback offered by the other person. The other person will follow the same process.

-Gunderson (1991)derson (1991)

Accommodate the lesson for language. You might provide the following:

Substantial background building, Small group mini-lesson which precedes

the whole class lesson, Introduction and/or preview vocabulary

that is critical to the lesson Picture or book walks Peer tutors in heterogeneously designed

classes Hands-on, experimental activities

Supplemental materials are important for students who do not have grade-level academic backgrounds and/or who have language and learning difficulties.

A variety of supplementary materials supports different learning styles and multiple intelligences.

Supplemental materials can bridge prior experiences with new learning.

Please refer to the handout for a list of examples . . . .

“We must find ways to make the text and other resource materials accessible for all students, adapting them so that the content concepts are left intact.”

-Short (1991)

Several strategies that are recommended for students with reading difficulties also work well for ELLs. These methods can be used throughout the lesson.

Please refer to the handout for a list of examples . . . .

“Students are more successful when they are able to make connections between what they know and what they are learning by relating classroom experiences to their own lives.”

If you are one of those who thought you would see an automatic in the

911 “when pigs fly,”May we suggest you duck?

One of the challenges of teaching ELLs is that student in the same class vary in the amount of prior knowledge they possess related to a topic.

Examples of ways to link past concepts to new learning are:•Questioning strategies•Charts/Reference Points•KWL•Quick writes/Graffiti writes

Many students do not automatically make connections between previous lessons and concepts to today’s lesson.

Teachers must make connections explicitly.

Explicitly preserve and refer to or integrate:•Questioning strategies•Word banks/Word walls•Outlines•Charts/Graphs•Maps•Graphic organizers
