English Language Learners

Introduction to English Language Learners is a course that identifies the core information and knowledge that needs to be put into perspective when serving ELLs. In the class we learned how to create SIOP Lesson plans all the way to applying the information into compiling an ELL profile with a student from our service learning classroom. We began the semester learning the principles that need to be applied to lesson plans when focusing on ELLs and then were able to apply the information and use of language standards into our lessons. This course is important for every education student to take as it is an important aspect of teaching in our futures.

    This is my philosophy statement for serving English Language Learners in my classroom. It contains all of my thoughts and beliefs relating to serving an English Language Learner in my classroom. This statement is very important to me and my future as an educator as English Language Learners are continually being mainstreamed into regular classrooms. This statement is what will guide me as I continue my journey as a life long learner.
  2. B. ELL Student Profile and Reflection B. ELL Student Profile and Reflection
    This document is a student profile completed with a reflection about what I compiled about an English Language Learner in my service learning classroom at Frye Elementary. I spent time with this individual student compiling information about her and her learning style. In the end I put together a polished profile that gives descriptions of what I learned throughout this process. This profile helped to connect the material learned in class and then applied to the actual service learning classroom!
