Period 3 – Spanish 3 “College Level”<\/strong><\/p>\n

My newest class, a more quiet group that has a extremely diverse needs.<\/p>\n

Many students are on 504’s and IEP’s, and the Spanish varies from Native Speakers<\/p>\n

to students who hardly know any Spanish. My goal is to challenge all of these students<\/p>\n

and meaningfully scaffold for the students that are behind so they can be engaged. This<\/p>\n

class has challenged me to put in place more routines and a more rigid grading heuristic<\/p>\n

to ensure student engagement.<\/p>\n

Period 4- English Language Learners “Level 1”<\/strong><\/p>\n

My ELL class is relatively small -about 12 students- but this allows for a good deal of<\/p>\n

individualized attention. This number may change, as every month there seems to be a<\/p>\n

new arrival with near “zero English”. My goals for these students is to a) Give them the<\/p>\n

initial tools they need to competently navigate their way in a new country. b) Begin<\/p>\n

developing academic literacy, that they will carry for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n

Period 6- Spanish 5 “Honors Level”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the first class I took over, they are an interesting mix of students ranging from<\/p>\n

high-acheiving “Goddard Scholars”, to Native Speakers who are not performing as well<\/p>\n

academically in other disciplines. The students are open to new experiences, and willing to<\/p>\n

be challenged academically. This has pushed me to develop more thought provoking<\/p>\n

lessons where the language is taught through the content, and both are seen as mutually<\/p>\n

reinforcing.<\/p>\n

Period 7- Spanish 3 “College Level”<\/strong><\/p>\n

A small class due to several students transferring out of the district. \u00a0This class is willing to<\/p>\n

participate, but presents similar challenges to those of period 3, there is a very broad<\/p>\n

spectrum of language development that makes accommodation more challenging. My<\/p>\n

goal with these students is similar, to develop foundational elements of language, as well<\/p>\n

as develop routines that will help promote academic literacy and challenge them to look at<\/p>\n

Spanish in a different light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
