DeleteHola everyone! My name is Diana and I teach HS. This is my 3rd book online study. Hope I continue gaining good things to enhance my instructions in class.
ReplyDeleteHello! My name is Anna Winstead and I teach PE/Health at Westview Middle School. I am a newbie to the district, book studies, and Twitter, this will definitely be a learning experience. I wanted to participate because I am starting work on my dissertation and hoping to show a positive correlation between participation in physical education and language acquisition in ELL students. Looking forward to learning a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Anna! That sounds like an interesting dissertation!
DeleteHello, I'm Lee Ann Coleman. I teach seventh grade G-T and Regular ELA at Westview Middle School. I tried one of these classes at the end of last year and Twitter DROVE ME CRAZY! I'm hoping to stick this one through and learn how to navigate enough to be successful. One great thing that has happened this year is I have a wonderful student who just moved to the United States from Brazil. She speaks no English but is as sweet as she can be and we have been communicating through Google translate to help her out in class. This past weekend I learned how to say 'good morning' and 'have a great afternoon' in Portuguese and her face lit up when I said it to her.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee Ann! Sorry Twitter drove you crazy. I hope you have a better experience this time around because this PLN is amazing! There is so much to learn from everyone!

DeleteHi there! My name is Trish Breland, and I am the Instructional Coach at Sedgefield Middle School in Goose Creek, SC. I have been working at this school for the past 34 years. Throughout my tenure here, I have experienced various changes in our curriculum and student profile. One of the most significant change is the number of English Learners on our campus. Therefore the insight I gain from this book study will be valuable in supporting these students.

Delete1Q4) In TESOL’s vision of effective education, all teachers take responsibility for
ReplyDeleteteaching English learners and helping them succeed in school. Do all educators
you work with share this responsibility and hold high expectations for students
learning English as a new language?
There is an increasing amount of ESL students that are entering our school system. As a result of these increasing numbers each year, it is imperative that we accommodate these learners. At Westview Middle school we as educators all see the need for accommodating ESL students.
1Q5) What is your school or program doing to promote multilingualism and
multiculturalism and to prepare students to become global citizens? Discuss some
concrete steps to meet these goals.
At Westview, we have ESL teachers there to help ESL students. We communicate with these teachers to discuss the best practice for each learner. For example, some students benefit from eliminating multiple choice answers on assessments, while others benefit from having fewer questions on the assessment.
If you answer the questions on this blog, I am afraid no-one will see them. We respond via Twitter just as you did (except we answer with A instead of Q...meaning you are answering that particular question)
