Читать книгу EL Excellence Every Day - Tonya Ward Singer - Страница 26

You don’t have to read this book from cover to cover. I recommend reading Chapters 1 and 2 and then flipping to other chapters as you need them. Here are five great entry points for using this book:

1 ESSENTIAL MINDSETS. Do you want to create a classroom and school culture that values diversity and makes high expectations a reality for every EL and every student? Read Chapter 2.

2 ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES. Do you want to learn ways to structure active engagement and academic conversations in your classroom? Read Section II or flip to any strategy in the purple pages to enhance active participation and student conversations in you next lesson.

3 STRATEGIC SUPPORTS. Do you want strategies, lessons, and scaffolds to help students learn core concepts, language, and literacy? Read Section III or flip to any strategy in the orange pages when you need new tools to help your students thrive.

4 LITERACY GOALS. Are you looking for ways to help ELs (and all students) excel with a specific literacy goal like justifying claims with text evidence? Flip to the chapter in Section IV that aligns with your goal for a wealth of resources organized to make planning and differentiating a breeze.

5 STUDENT NEEDS. Listening to student conversations, watching students annotate texts, or reading students’ writing, you notice specific areas where they need additional support. To address specific literacy needs, flip to the appropriate chapter in Section IV to find support for both the literacy goals and aligned language goals.
