Introduction
Introduction
Having 21 students in 9 different grade levels poses its planning challenges. In order to stay organized and plan effective, concise lessons for my students, I use multi-level planning strategies including long-term planning, unit planning, and lesson planning. These strategies help me keep track of the standards that my students are mastering, as well as their progress with English language acquisition. Below, explore the different strategies I use to demonstrate best practices while planning for my ESOL students.
Conclusion
Conclusion
Overall, planning for my ESOL students is an incredibly time-intensive, layered process that ensures that every child has access to challenging curriculum both in their mainstream classes and while participating in ELL-specific instruction. However, through employing strategies like backwards-planning, instructional team collaboration, and transparency with my students about our modules and their purpose, I am able to help my students achieve success in their mainstream classrooms while developing fluency in English through cross-disciplinary and multi-level planning.
