  3. Yesenia Medrano, Southeast Middle School Teacher Commitment Descriptions and the Language of Mathematics

  4. Agenda • We will all work to: • Learn to teach academic language and get our instruction to “stick” • Identify activities that provide good input and output to help students describe • Identify language challenges in the released word problems related to geometry and measurement

  5. A Quick Review of the Research Stand up, Hand up, Pair up! What does the research say are effective practices for teaching English learners?

  6. Providing Input and Output Please look at the activities in your handout. Which one do you think best provides students with input for language development? Which one do you think best provides students with output for language development?

  7. What to say when you.. compare & contrast They are similar because... Notice how the two compare… This is a lot like how… Zwiers, J. (2009)

  8. compare & contrast The two differ because one…, while the other… On the other hand,… We can see that …. is different from… in the area of ______ They share the following traits: Zwiers, J. (2009)

  9. Released Items – CST - Math Let’s look at the CST items related to geometrical shapes and measurement

  10. Discussion: What’s challenging?
