  1. ELL/SPED Accommodations by Vicki Learn, Katie McNamara, and Shawn Nguyen

  2. Whose kids are they? • It takes a village to raise a child applies to school. • Every teacher brings something different to provide a well-rounded school experience. • Different teachers bring content knowledge, strategy knowledge, background knowledge about the students lives/educational experiences, etc. in order to provide the best instruction for the students. • ESOL and SPED teachers cannot be everything to all students ... they also need YOU!

  3. General Accommodations & Modifications

  4. BICs versus CALPS • BICs • language skills needed in social situations • day-to-day language • used in the lunchroom, school bus, at parties, playing sports • not demanding cognitively • 6 months to 2 years after arrival in U.S.

  5. BICs versus CALPs • CALPs • formal academic learning • includes listening, speaking, reading, and writing about subject area content material • essential to succeed in school • takes from 5-7 years • can take 7-10 years if not strong in 1st language

  6. ESOL Classes • ESOL I (Beginner – 9th grader): • ESOL I English Language Development (Tristan) • ESOL I Literature and Composition (Tristan) • ESOL Introduction to Ecological Systems (McNamara) • ESOL Intro to U.S. History (Nguyen) • Algebra or Algebra with Seminar supported by Mr. Wren

  7. ESOL Classes Continued • ESOL II (Intermediate – 10th grader) • ESOL II English Language Development (Sumihara) • ESOL II Literature and Composition (Sumihara) • Co-Taught Biology (McNamara) • ESOL U.S. History (Nguyen) • Intro to Geometry or Geometry

  8. ESOL Classes Continued • ESOL III (Advanced 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grader) • ESOL III English Language Development (McNamara) • Co-Taught English 10 (Sumihara) • Co-Taught American Government (Nguyen) • Intro to Chemistry or Chemistry • Algebra II

  9. Accommodations for ELLs • ELLs: • bilingual dictionary (synonym only) • extra time (as long as student is actively working) • human reader for entire test (only ELL with SPED this year) • human read for selected sections of the test • RELLs (Released in the last 2 years): • extended time • bilingual dictionary

  11. From WIDA’s 2007 ELP Standards Resource Guide

  12. Case Study: Science Class • Mr. Bloom is teaching a chemistry unit on physical and chemical changes. He demonstrates how mixing some chemicals changes the color and temperature of solutionsand how heating water changes its state of matter. • After giving the students the definitions ofphysical and chemical changes, the studentsperform their own experiments in small groups.

  13. Science Case Study, continued • One experiment requires the students to mixammonium nitrate and water to make their owninstant cold pack. In the other experiment,students mix calcium chloride and baking sodato create a reaction in a bag. • The students then have to write a lab report describingtheir observations and concluding from them,the type of reaction in each case.

Differentiate the language used (listening, reading)or expected to use (speaking, writing) in the: • process • product • environment • Choose any proficiency level; all you need is oneexample of differentiation of each type. • You do not need to differentiate thecontent (i.e., you do not have to know chemistry!)
