FINAL The Effects of Peer Assisted Learning on Student [Autosaved]Beth Csiszer
This document describes the action research plan of a teacher to examine the effects of peer assisted learning on student achievement in math. The teacher will implement a peer tutoring program where students are paired based on MAP math scores and take turns tutoring each other for 20 minutes twice a week. Both qualitative data from student surveys about attitudes toward math and group work, and quantitative data from pre/post-tests, MAP scores, and quarterly grades will be collected. After 6 weeks, the data will be analyzed to determine if peer tutoring improved student outcomes in math.
This document discusses challenges that English Language Learner (ELL) students face in social sciences classes and strategies to help them succeed. It notes that the ELL population has increased significantly in recent decades. ELL students struggle with social sciences texts because of unfamiliar vocabulary, complex sentences and lack of background knowledge. However, the document outlines approaches like using guiding questions, simplifying texts and the "reverse chronological" method of starting with modern themes and working backwards to help ELLs comprehend social sciences content. While these strategies seem effective, more research is still needed on improving ELL performance in social sciences.
Beth Csiszer has been an amazing mentor teacher for Amber Marion during her internship at Hunter Street Elementary School. Mrs. Csiszer supported Amber's teaching decisions, treated her as an equal colleague, and improved her confidence. She also shared her lesson planning, data analysis skills, and strategies for working with students. Mrs. Csiszer went above and beyond to help Amber and other teachers, and was dedicated to her students' success. Amber feels very lucky to have had Mrs. Csiszer's guidance and support during her internship.
This document discusses strategies for improving English language learners' (ELLs) performance in reading, literacy, and social sciences. It notes that ELL students face many challenges, such as lack of background knowledge, unfamiliar vocabulary, and cultural differences. Standardized tests often do not accurately reflect what ELL students have learned. The document recommends strategies like using content maps, guiding questions, and simplifying text to help ELLs comprehend social sciences. It also discusses barriers ELLs face in literacy development and suggests teachers need balanced literacy instruction and understanding of ELL language acquisition.
There are many educational apps that can help students learn English or other languages. Some apps focus on specific skills like verb conjugation, phrasal verbs, pronunciation, or spelling. Other apps offer broader language learning through vocabulary, phrases, audio lessons, translations, and interactive activities.
