Today we started with a reading about the 7 esol principles. We discussed interesting points that it brought up. Key points were: Home link is difficult when parents can't communicate in English. Contextual learning is importing - giving concrete examples and the importance of building vocab.
We shared resources to contribute towards our ELLS support box. Everybody shared something useful which has been added into our collection. These go over all levels and stages across the school.
Etap - Angela shared the etap mark book which now includes the ELLPS. Eventually teachers will input the ellps data as well as filling out the yellow form. The purpose of this is for teachers and management to track the progress of students. Also so teachers can track who is funded.
Actions: Angela will set up the box and folders for readings.
Next meeting:
We will talk about tips on supporting ells learners in class.
Anna will bring a reading.
Any more resources to share?
