Today’s teachers have immediate access to online resources for supporting ELLs in the classroom. However, they often lack the time to sift through the abundance of information and quickly locate what is needed, when it is needed. A well-organized toolkit for thoughtfully selected ELL teacher resources can not only enhance personal professional productivity but can also be shared with colleagues to promote best practices in working with ELLs.
Imagine because of the work your ELL task force has done, teachers are now expressing a desire to implement ELL best practices in their classrooms and are asking for a way to access and share resources to help them. You volunteer to create a toolkit for ELL teacher resources.
Part 1: Toolkit
Using a web-based platform or application (e.g., Canva, Padlet, Evernote, Trello), create a toolkit for professional practice to collect, store, and organize resources for teaching ELLs.
Conduct research and select 10-12 resources (articles, websites, etc.) for the three required ELL topics listed below and two additional topics of your choice.
For each resource include (1) the citation, (2) a brief description of the resource, and (3) how the resource supports research-based best practices in working with ELLs.
Choose from the following topics for your ELL toolkit. Consider adding to this toolkit throughout future coursework for your professional use.
Required Topics
Supportive Learning Environments for ELLs
Instructional Strategies for ELLs
Technology and ELLs
Additional Topic Ideas (or create your own topic related to ELL best practices)
Applying Language Acquisition Theories
English Language Proficiency Levels
First/Native Language or Multilingualism
Cultural Considerations
Socio-Emotional Needs
ELL Lesson Planning and Assessment
Language and Literacy
Content Area (e.g., mathematics, science, English language arts, social studies, the arts)
Part 2: Reflection
In 150-250 words, reflect on how you plan to provide culturally and linguistically supportive learning environments, implement effective instructional strategies, and incorporate the use of technology to promote ELLs’ learning in the classroom.
Support your reflection with 2-3 scholarly resources.
