each of the three categories (three skills total).

Brainstorm one strategy per skill to teach students that skill.

(010) Strategies that Promote L/S

Frontloading… Teaching key vocabulary before they

encounter it Explicitly teaching language functionsPre-teaching Small group discussion in L1 Preview/review Use primary language text before English

textBrainstorming… Scaffold with sentence frames

(012) Key Components of SDAIE Tap into prior knowledge Contextualize the lesson Provide a positive affective

domain Teach study skills Modify the use of the textbook

(012) Scaffolding Strategies Provides a personal connection between

learner and topic. Builds on known concepts

Helps simplify complex concepts. Creates an experiential environment

The more familiar students are with the features of the text, the more successful…

Clarifies procedures and expectations Fosters autonomy through self monitoring Pre-teach terms so they will be

understood in the lesson

(012) Scaffolding Strategies Students extend their understanding by

applying it in novel formats To promote critical thinking skills Learning is most effective when students

have opportunities to discuss and process content

Different ways of determining student performance to provide more accurate evidence as to whether learning has taken place

Clarifies misconceptions and further develops proficiency in English

(012) SDAIE Lesson Plan Format Grade Level Content Standard ELD Standard Assessment Learning Opportunities

Into Through Beyond

(012) SDAIE Lesson Plan

Grade Level-5 Content Standard - 5.3.2 Students know when

liquid water evaporates, it turns into water vapor in the air and can reappear as a liquid when cooled or as a solid if cooled below the freezing point of water.

ELD Standard - Write brief expository compositions(e.g. description, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, and problem and solution) that include a thesis and some points of support.

Assessment - Students will write a one paragraph composition comparing and contrasting the different forms of water.

Learning Opportunities Into - Using the think-pair-share cooperative grouping model,

students will write brief 1-2 sentence narratives of any experience that they have had with the different forms of water. As the T-P-S model dictates, they will pair up to relate their sentences to a partner, then share out in table groups. -Students will read summary of the lesson reading in table groups in order to preload content. -Class will review the concept of comparing and contrasting using actual forms of water.

Through - Using a graphic organizer that pictorially represents the water cycle, students will develop understanding of the relationships the different forms of water have with one another. Students will then compare and contrast their charts with the charts of table mates. -Students will develop a paragraph comparing and contrasting the different elements of the water cycle based on teacher-modeled representation.

Beyond - Students will create a haiku that describes water in its liquid, solid and gaseous forms

Principles of Standards-Based Assessment and Instruction

(001) ELD Standards

ELD Standards are a pathway to the ELA standards for ELs.

The ELD standards establish clear performance expectations for ELs. The ELD standards are to be used to plan/provide instruction for English Language Development.

The ELD standards are based on proficiency levels and grade-level spans in L/S, R, and W.

The ELD standards are based on the same components as the ELA standards. An English Learner may require more explicit steps to reach a standard.

The CELDT is aligned with the ELD standards.

(001) Standards-Based…

1. STANDARDS inform ASSESSMENT2. ASSESSMENT informs INSTRUCTION3. Students engage in LEARNING4. Students DEMONSTRATE what they

know5. Students experience LEARNING, or6. Teacher RETEACHES

(001) Standards and EL Students ELs must have access to the core in

order to meet standards. Teachers must develop benchmarks

to show that these students are moving toward the standards.

Teachers must teach to the ELD standards.

All ethnic groups score lower than whites

Except for Asian-Americans all attain lower levels of education

Reasons are unclear

(003) Overachievement… “Model Minorities” become over-

qualified for jobs Teacher expectations of some groups

elicit higher achievement Some subgroups resist assimilation

(003) Issues…

Dropouts Tendency is to blame students The need is to provide high quality curriculum and instruction and know about the students and their families

Retention 10% of language minority students are retained

Tracking Educational gaps continue
