Study Notes
Teachers' Casebook - Leaving No Student Behind
-
Student Demographics: The number of students from immigrant families in the Davis East school district has increased significantly. The specific languages spoken by these students include Somali, Hmong, Farsi, and Spanish. Many have limited English proficiency beyond basic phrases. Several students also have learning disabilities, especially in reading.
-
Resource Constraints: Insufficient numbers of students speaking some languages have prevented the school from receiving additional resources to support them.
-
Assessment Concerns: The district and state require students to prepare for standardized achievement tests, with an emphasis on college and career readiness.
Critical Thinking
-
Student Progress & Achievement Tests: Strategies to help students progress and prepare for achievement tests are needed.
-
Intern Involvement: The intern should be involved to support students and learn from working with them. Methods of collaboration should be established.
-
Family Engagement: Involving families of non-English speakers and students with learning disabilities is crucial to support their children's learning. Methods to foster this engagement need to be planned.
Cognitive Development
-
Curriculum Concerns: Students' understanding of abstract concepts like symbolism in poetry needs to be scaffolded and developed through concrete experiences.
-
Student Misconceptions: Observations of student responses indicate that current understanding of the concept of "symbol" is limited and overly literal.
-
Teaching Strategies: A plan for helping students learn about symbols, including a strategy for assessing whether they are ready for this level of thinking, is needed. Concrete examples and experiences with symbolism will be necessary.
