7. UDL AND ELL
PREPARATIONS
hypothetical classed based off my field experience has no ELL
there are a few ESOL students
class itself is an AP class in which English is discouraged in
order to promote the proficiency of the students’ Spanish.
if there were any ELL students in the class who are
simultaneously learning Spanish:
certain materials would be given in that student’s native
language along side the Spanish materials, depending on their
level of language proficiency
according to if they were in a specified ELL or ESOL exit
program those students would also receive certain information
in English as well as their native language
Assessments would reflect their linguistic levels, using their
native language in the assessments if necessary
sheltered instructional supports would be offered to those
students in class as well as in instructional materials
