Knowing Our Textbooks.ppt
This document discusses the relationship between teachers and textbooks. It presents different perspectives on textbook usage: some teachers create their own materials, some follow the textbook strictly, and some use it as a guide. A textbook provides structure, language content, and skills practice, but teachers must adapt materials to meet students' needs. Factors like a school's environment and students' expectations can influence how dependent teachers are on textbooks. Teachers can supplement, replace, reorder, or omit textbook content to better achieve learning objectives. When evaluating textbooks, teachers should consider students' language goals, learning processes, and intended language uses.
Evaluating Your Textbook
This document discusses evaluating textbooks for language courses. It begins by noting that choosing a textbook is difficult as the suitability is only clear after using it. The teacher is responsible for evaluating both students and the teaching/learning process, including materials. A good textbook should provide structure, varied materials, preparation time savings, teaching ideas, independent work, homework basis, and allow comparison to other schools. It should also give students purpose, progression, security, autonomy and referencing. No single textbook will meet all needs, but the best fit for teachers and students should determine materials rather than vice versa. The document provides a checklist for textbook evaluation covering layout, activities, language, content, guidance, and practical considerations. It emphasizes adapting materials to

Content Area Centers
1. Choose a content area and specific learning objectives to focus the centers around.
2. Design 3-5 centers with hands-on activities that reinforce the objectives. Include visuals, organizers, and interactive elements.
3. Pilot the centers with a small group and collect feedback to refine the activities. Observe student engagement and understanding.
4. Once refined, implement the centers as a rotation for whole class and continue assessing student learning from the activities. Adjust as needed based on results.
How can esl teachers support teachers in other
1) ESL teachers can support mainstream teachers and students in various ways, such as providing vocabulary lists, visual aids, graphic organizers, adapted texts and homework help.
2) In primary schools, ESL teachers can either pull students out of class for focused English instruction or push into the classroom to co-teach. Close communication between ESL and mainstream teachers is important.
3) In secondary schools, ESL teachers can implement sheltered instruction by co-teaching content area subjects to make material comprehensible for English learners while developing their language skills. This requires collaboration between ESL and subject area teachers.
Curriculum Approach in Language Teaching
The document discusses principles underlying language curriculum and objectives in language teaching. It states that curriculum aims to help students become literate and successful language learners by understanding language, communicating effectively, making connections, thinking critically, understanding perspectives, and appreciating culture. Objectives must be consistent with aims, describe learning outcomes precisely, and be feasible to assess whether aims are attained. Aims and objectives provide guidelines for teaching and focus instruction on achieving intended outcomes.
Dil Myths Meeting
The document addresses several myths about teaching English/Language Arts based on the curriculum framework. It clarifies that teachers are not required to strictly follow the lesson plans, can choose their own supplemental materials, and should focus on covered the benchmarks for each cycle. The embedded assessments are formative and meant to guide instruction rather than evaluate teachers. Support resources are available for re-take students preparing for assessments.

Vocab instruction
1) The document discusses strategies for teaching academic vocabulary to students to increase achievement. It emphasizes explicitly teaching vocabulary using a six step process.
2) The six step process involves the teacher providing descriptions and examples of new terms, students restating the terms in their own words, drawing pictures, adding to their knowledge in notebooks, discussing terms with peers, and playing games to reinforce the vocabulary.
3) Research shows vocabulary is a strong predictor of reading ability and comprehension, and students need to see words multiple times to recognize them. Direct vocabulary instruction can significantly improve students' reading comprehension scores.
Academic vocabulary
This document outlines Marzano's six-step plan for direct vocabulary instruction. The six steps include: 1) providing a description of the term, 2) having students describe it in their own words, 3) creating a nonlinguistic representation, 4) doing activities to reinforce knowledge of the term, 5) discussing terms with peers, and 6) playing games involving the terms. Research shows that direct vocabulary instruction can increase student comprehension percentiles by over 30 points. The document also discusses selecting terms, example activities for each step, and tracking student progress in learning terms.
Intro to positive behavioural invervations and supports
Positive Behavioural Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to discipline that focuses on proactive strategies rather than punishment. It aims to define and teach appropriate student behaviors in a positive school environment. PBIS provides a common purpose and approach to discipline through clear behavioral expectations, teaching expected behaviors, and procedures for discouraging inappropriate behaviors. The goal is to shift thinking away from traditional discipline methods like punishment, which do not teach students or improve behaviors, and toward positive reinforcement of appropriate conduct.

Inclusion
This document summarizes a presentation on inclusion given by Mark Barratt at the University of Auckland. The presentation covered Barratt's experiences that led him to advocate for inclusion, his key beliefs about inclusion, and how to implement inclusion in schools and classrooms. Some of the main points included: defining inclusion as changing attitudes rather than just policy/resources, seeing inclusion as an ongoing process to improve responses to diversity, having presence and participation of all students as the goals, and the importance of teacher attitude, relationships with families, creative problem-solving, and support systems in inclusive classrooms.
Growing as a Leader
This document provides guidance and questions for leaders to reflect on and improve their leadership.

Assessment for learning
The document discusses assessment for learning (AfL). It defines AfL as being part of everyday practice by students, teachers, and peers that seeks, reflects upon, and responds to information from dialogue, demonstration, and observation to enhance ongoing learning. The key elements of AfL are knowing the goals of learning, comparing actual performance to desired performance, and taking action to close gaps. The teacher's role is to get alongside learners, notice and respond to learning, promote dialogue, and establish an environment where learners take responsibility for their learning. The learner must know the goals, standards, their current achievement, and how to improve.

Literacy: Creating a Classroom Environment Rich in Meaningful Print in Context
- 1. Literacy: Creating a Classroom Environment Rich in Meaningful Print in Context Mark Barratt
- 2. What do you know? In your tables: Write down as many facts as you can about bananas…...
- 3. Outcome (WALT): • Review some key elements that contribute to an environment rich in meaningful text and identify ways they can apply this to their teaching space Success Criteria: • Teachers will be able to state why text rich environments are important • Teachers will be able to name 3 ways to make a classroom environment rich in meaningful text • Teachers will apply these elements to their classroom environment
- 4. Text rich classrooms are important!! As we all know, the classroom environment is a second teacher for any student. A large amount of the student’s time is spent in a school classroom. We therefore need to maximise the learning teach to capitalise on this by providing many and varied opportunities for language acquisition. 93% of our students learn English as an additional language. We therefore need to surround the language learner with correct models of language. This is especially so for EAL in upper primary and CALP These opportunities should be both passive and active for the learner. The classroom is one variable in teaching that we have a lot of control over. We need to maximise what we have control over. Manzarno amongst others argues that vocabulary and conceptual comprehension improves significantly if words are learnt that are important to students i.e. what they are learning.
- 5. Print Rich Environments Teacher and students create: • Labels • Anchor Charts • Signs • Lists • Timetables • Word Banks • Explanations • Writing examples • Instructions • Topic Displays Jot Thoughts: How else might you promote print rich classroom environments??
- 6. Anchor Charts: Anchor charts are created during the instruction of the lesson. As the teacher models the lesson or strategy, the lesson reinforcement or strategy tool in written up on chart paper. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/blog-posts/genia-connell/12-steps-creating-language-rich-environment/ Examples:
- 7. Word Banks • Word banks that grow over time eg. “Instead of Said” - students ad • “stick it” notes for different dialogue tags • Word banks that relate to the current learning eg. transition words fiction writing • Word banks related to topics • Students need to have ownership of the word bank. • It needs to be a living list • It may not look pretty
- 8. Vocabulary Building • Word of the Week chart • Word Maps
- 9. Using students’ predictions, questions and ideas • At the start of the lesson What I know, What I want to find out… • Add text to the artwork that provides transcripts of students conversation. This shows students that their ideas are important and provides an opportunity to model language
- 10. Praxis - thinking in action Decide upon one activity that you are going to do to make the classroom environment more rich in print. By next Tuesday morning send Dayana a photo of what you’ve added to the classroom.
