Some of us teach in districts with an abundance of resources and some of us need to get creative. Some districts offer a curriculum and others give teachers a chance to explore their options as long as they follow certain criteria such as WIDA Standards in my district.
Knowing what to teach can be a struggle. If you are like me, you only see your students a few times a week and it's only for 30 minutes at a time. How much can one really cover in this amount of time? With limited time, we need our lessons to be as purposeful as possible.
Below I have listed some ELL teaching resources to consider when planning. There is no one size fits all method. Please add any resources you may find useful in the comments column. The more options we have the better. Together we can create lessons that are purposeful and meaningful.
1. Kagan Structures
2. Picture Cards
3. SIOP Model
4. Bilingual Books
5. Graphic Organizers
6. Common Core
7.freerice.com
8. Picture dictionaries
9. Visuals
10. Vocabulary support
There are many more resources. Please share your ideas and what resources you find to be useful. The more we share, the better we can teach!
