  2. Agenda • Introduction • Project Nexus Overview • TNT’s Pre-Written Lessons for Step 1—a 3 year rotation • Inquiry and ELL—meeting the needs of ELL students through the SIOP model • Questions?

  3. PROJECT NEXUS A Title III National Professional Development Program Funded by The Office of English Language Acquisition of the U. S. Department of Education at $985,000 for five years for the Bilingual/ESL Teacher Certification Programs of the Teacher Education and Administration Department at the University of North Texas May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2017

  4. Region 10 in Project Nexus Provider of Professional Development • Second Language Acquisition • Academic Language of Math/Science • Techniques for planning SIOP lessons • Incorporating ELPS, lesson planning and unit design. • Alternative assessment • Lesson modeling • Instructional coaching

  5. Region 10 in Project Nexus About Us.. • Region 10 is one of 20 regional service centers established by the Texas State Legislature in 1967 for the purpose of providing services to the school districts within a defined geographic region. • Regional service centers are non-regulatory. • Within our boundaries are 80 ISDs, 44 charter schools and approximately 1202 campuses.

  6. ESCs Ranked by Student Population…

  7. Region 10 in Project Nexus Bilingual/ESL Cooperative • District participation in the cooperative requires an annual membership. • Membership provides access to services and support. • Bilingual services and support. • ESL services and support • Migrant services and support • Compliance and state required activities and trainings

  8. Region 10 in Project Nexus Cooperative Membership • Annual Service Offerings • District/Campus Offerings • Other Offerings • Regional/Cluster Offerings • Web-Based Offerings

  9. Region 10 in Project Nexus Consultations • Program implementation • Program evaluation • State mandated audit reviews • Compliance on identification, placement and progress monitoring

  10. Region 10 in Project Nexus UNT Pre-service Teachers • Region 10 Title III Bilingual/ESL Coop offers a 12 hour preparation course for the ESL TExES test #154. • On-site delivery of two day training. • The prep course is free to all those that teach in schools within the Title III Bilingual/ESL Coop. • Provide required test preparation assistance.

  11. Faculty Commitment to ELLs

  12. Faculty Commitment to ELLs

  13. Serving ELLs in a STEM World Academic Year 2012-2013 Pre-service teachers’ participation in Project NEXUS

  14. Serving ELLs in Project Based Instruction

  15. Serving ELLs in High Schools

  16. Serving ELLs in Step 1

  17. Pre-written Lesson Plans Rationale for Step 1 • One hour course = • Limited time for students to devote • Limited face time in class • Same lesson plan = • Master Teacher modeling of lesson plan in class • Allows for deeper instructional time for pedagogical content • Minimizes unknown factors for Step 1 students • Increases the likelihood for extremely positive initial teaching experiences • Streamlines materials management • Strengthens the feedback from TNT observers and mentor teachers

  18. SIOP and the 5E Model

  19. Three Year Rotation of Lessons

  20. Spring 2013: Connecting Magnetism and Electricity

  21. Pre-written lesson-Teach 1 • Window – February 25-March 8 • Investigating Simple Circuits • Develops concepts about how to wire up a cell and a bulb and to clarify that electricity flows. • Use trail and error to build a circuit that lights a bulb. • TNT student requirements: • Locate appropriate TEKS • Write objectives for the lesson • Write the big idea and/or conceptual understanding for the lesson • Practice with partner and deliver lesson • Adapt and modify lesson for grade level per your direction with suggestions from TNT staff

  22. Pre-written lesson-Teach 2 • Window – March 18 - 28 • Winding Up Magnetism • Observe and learn how the number of winds (e.g., coils) of wire around a core affects the strength of magnetism. • Use a basic circuit, a wire, and washers to measure the strength of magnetism. • TNT student requirements: • Locate appropriate TEKS • Write objectives for the lesson • Write the big idea and/or conceptual understanding for the lesson • Practice with partner and deliver lesson • Adapt and modify lesson for grade level per your direction • Identify level of questions from Blooms Taxonomy and write 2-4 additional questions to embellish the lesson

  23. Pre-written lesson-Teach 3 • Window – April 8 - 19 • Changing the Strength of an Electromagnet • Explore different ways to change the strength of an electromagnet, including tighter coils, number of D-cells, different wire gauge. • Use a basis circuit board and multiple variables to plan and conduct an experiment. • TNT student requirement: • Locate appropriate TEKS • Write objectives for the lesson • Write the big idea and/or conceptual understanding for the lesson • Practice with partner and deliver lesson • Adapt and modify lesson for grade level per your direction • Identify level of questions from Blooms Taxonomy and create 6-8 additional questions to embellish the lesson

  24. SIOP FRAMEWORK: The 8 Components • Preparation • Building Background • Comprehensible Input • Strategies • Interaction • Practice/Application • Lesson Delivery • Review/Assessment

  25. SIOP FRAMEWORK: The 30 Features Lesson Preparation—1) content objectives, 2) language objectives, 3) content concepts, 4) supplemental materials, 5) adaptations for proficiency levels, and 6) meaningful activities Building Background—7) explicit links to students’ background experience, 8) explicit links between past learning and new concepts, 9) key vocabulary emphasized Comprehensible Input—10) speech for proficiency levels, 11) clear explanation of academic task, 12) variety of techniques for content clarity Strategies—13) opportunity to use learning strategies, 14) scaffolding, 15) question levels vary Interaction—16) frequent opportunity for discussion, 17) group configuration, 18) wait time, 19) opportunity to clarify key concepts Practice/Application—20) hands-on materials, 21) activities designed for the application of content, 22) activities integrating all language skills Lesson Delivery—23) content objectives supported by lesson deliver, 24) language objectives supported by lesson delivery, 25) engaged students 90% to 100% of time in class, 26) pacing appropriate to students’ ability Review/Assessment—27) review of key vocabulary, 28) review of content concepts, 29) feedback to students, 30) assessment of student comprehension

  26. Illustrations of SIOP Components through TNT lessons • Addressing the Levels of Proficiency • The importance of word walls • The Frayer Model • The value of concept maps READING WRITING SPEAKING LISTENING

  27. Using the SIOP 8 Components and 30 Features, adapt the Exploring Magnets, Force, and Magnetic Field Step 1 Lesson • Locate the appropriate ELPS (English Language Proficiency Standard) • Create and write a language objective • What are the focal components are targeted for the lesson in SIOP? • Select at least 3 SIOP features that you can use to reach all four proficiency levels.
