ENL Professional Development December 1, 2011
Objectives Content Objective: Participants will understand SIOP on a deeper level. Participants will make connections between what they are currently doing with colleagues. Language Objective: Participants will discuss and write to understand best practices for English Learners. Essential Question: How do we take SIOP to the next level to best serve our English Learners?
Stand for …. • Quick write with sentence starter: Today I am going to stand for because….include three reasons why specific to his/her identity • Stand and Deliver • Attribute discussion/data
Identity • Ninemillion.org video • Discussion in microlabs • What did you notice in the video? • Thinking about the student that you stood for, what do they bring to your classroom? Think about all they bring, including the assets. • How does a student’s identity influence our instructional practices?
SIOP Review • Code the checklist accordingly: • A star on the line next to three of the indicators that you are doing well. You feel confident! • A check on the line next to three of the indicators that seem a bit risky to you. You are in the yellow zone! • A question mark on the line next to three of the indicators that are in the danger zone for you. You are in the red!
Find Your Match • Find someone or multiple people who feel confident in the same SIOP component as you. For example: Background knowledge • Find someone or multiple people who feel confident in the same risky SIOP component as you.
Your Assignment • Choose one of the danger or risky areas, work together with others in your same zone. • Set a goal to implement at least one idea from the book as well as other ways to grow professionally. • Be ready to come back in January and share!
Practicing what we preach… • We have modeled the following strategies/activities: • Objectives – Lesson Preparation • Quick write – Build background knowledge • Stand for – Practice and Application • Video – Building Background knowledge • Microlabs – Interaction • Coding the text – Strategies • Find your match – Interaction • Goals – Review and assessment
