TEACHING ESL STUDENTS IN THE MAINSTREAM CLASSROOM

It is vital for teachers to consider the language used in their subject area from an ESL learner's point of view. This informative program helps teachers accommodate ESL learners with real-life classroom examples and practical strategies. We explore how teachers can consider the language demands of their lessons and use non-verbal cues to enhance language comprehension. We then explain how language modeling builds learner confidence and how to differentiate between language and content when correcting. Finally we demonstrate the "Think- Pair-Share" strategy for concept checking and discuss the importance of integrating cognitive taxonomies and learning styles to build thinking skills.

POWER OF RTI, THE: CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Response to Intervention is an effective method for helping struggling learners achieve academic success. The good news is that RTI can also be a powerful management approach to challenging behaviors in the classroom.

  • Classroom rules, routines, and schedules
  • Positive behavioral expectations
  • Simple strategies to manage defiant and con-compliant students
  • Targeted use of rewards and feedback
  • Structured lessons to incorporate meaningful student choices
  • Management of daily classroom transitions

    • In addition to Tier I strategies, Wright provides constructive and positive approaches to address student misbehavior, if and when it occurs. Learn how to implement RTI to create optimal learning environments with a minimum of discipline and behavior problems.
