Study Notes

Support for ELL and Struggling Students

  • Teachers should help students master both their native language and English.

  • Strategies for low-reading-level students include partitioning the class during instruction or planning completely different lessons for varying levels.

Learning Strategies and Methods

  • Inquiry-based learning occurs when students conduct experiments before observing results.
  • Activate prior knowledge before a lesson for better engagement and understanding.
  • Provide graphic organizers to ELL students to enhance reading comprehension and support detailed identification.

Teacher Interactions and Collaboration

  • Teachers should collaborate with ESOL and special education (SPED) teachers to assist ELL and learning-disabled students respectively.

Classroom Management and Assessment

  • Teachers must maintain confidentiality regarding any health information they possess about a student.
  • Observations are preferred over test scores to assess student proficiency, recognizing that some students may not perform well on exams.

Innovative Teaching Approaches

  • Use of assistive devices, such as timers and alarms, is critical for students with traumatic brain injury (TBI) to establish a consistent routine.
  • The constructivist approach encourages students to build their own understanding of concepts through personal responses and metaphors.

Special Considerations for Assessment and Engagement
