Review and Assessment in the Bilingual, ESL, and Spanish Classroom
9781631136009 | Levels K–12
This session examines the research behind assessing English language
and grade-level academic proficiency in ELL, including the Thomas &
Collier (1997) research findings. Participants are introduced to a variety
of measurement strategies and approaches, including how to use
individual, classroom, and school-wide achievement data to gauge ELL
progress in acquiring language and content knowledge. Practical, hands-on
activities encourage participants to create and implement assessment and
evaluation tools for both formative and summative purposes. Participants
explore the role of statewide assessments in measuring ELL progress, and
how to best prepare the students for high-stakes evaluations of English
language, literacy, and content.
Engaging ELL Students through H.O.T.S.
9781631136016 | Levels K–12
This session examines the research base and theory behind accelerating
student achievement through rigorous and relevant instruction that
actively engages students in higher-order thinking (Krathwohl, 2002;
Pogrow, 1995; 2002; 2004; 2004a; Bartos & Banks, 2015). Participants
select instructional strategies based on student achievement data that
supports ELL student mastery of high-quality standards (such as the ELA
Common Core Standards and the Texas TEKS).
Teaching Millennial Students
9781631136023 | Levels K–12
This session presents the characteristics and needs of millennial students,
identified as those children born between 1981 and 2004 (Novotney,
2010; Howell & Strauss, 2000; Stewart & Bernhardt, 2010; and Wilson,
2004). Participants explore the implications of these factors on teaching
in ESL, bilingual, dual-language and Spanish as a World Language and/or
Spanish for Spanish speakers program models, and learn second language
strategies that capitalize on the strengths of millennial students to help
increase student achievement.
