00:00:18,598 --> 00:00:21,350
Hello, my name is Ron Roheck.

3
00:00:21,350 --> 00:00:25,310
I'm an educational consultant that
specializes in the field of sheltered

4
00:00:25,310 --> 00:00:26,660
instruction.

5
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:31,440
That is, I provide tactics and strategies
for teachers to use when ELL students

6
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,920
are present in their content areas,
like math and science and social studies.

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,740
These strategies are based on
English learner best practices.

8
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:42,450
These best practices are based
on research, such as

9
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:47,100
the Sheltered Instruction Observation
Protocol, or SIOP, a professional

10
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,780
development model, developed by
the Center for Applied Linguistics,

11
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:54,700
as well as years of classroom testing
in schools across the country.

12
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,180
From this research and class testing,
my colleagues at Course Crafters and

13
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:03,270
I have created a list of best
practices that reflect their research.

14
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:10,130
Number 1, make your language and
content comprehensible.

15
00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:12,668
Cuz my question is whether or

16
00:01:12,668 --> 00:01:17,228
not the liquids are gonna be the same or
different.

17
00:01:17,228 --> 00:01:20,690
You see these two balls, golf balls, okay?

18
00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:22,109
These guys look the same, don't they?

19
00:01:22,109 --> 00:01:22,830
>> Yes.

20
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:23,650
>> Right, these two guys look the same?

21
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:25,230
>> Yeah.

22
00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:28,910
But these two guys look different,
all right?

23
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:33,800
Same, different, okay?

24
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,760
So now my question.

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,452
Do you think these liquids are the same?

26
00:01:38,452 --> 00:01:41,390
>> No.
>> Or are the liquids are different?

27
00:01:41,390 --> 00:01:42,095
>> The same.

28
00:01:42,095 --> 00:01:43,179
>> So you think they're the same?

29
00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:47,730
Number 2, provide hands-on activities.

30
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:49,955
For me, this is the engine
that drives the classroom.

31
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:57,712
Our third idea is to include
interactive instruction.

32
00:02:00,377 --> 00:02:04,377
>> Interactive lesson planning
promotes active participation and

33
00:02:04,377 --> 00:02:07,870
promotes multiple pathways for discussion.

34
00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:11,410
Teacher to student, student to teacher,
student to student.

35
00:02:12,810 --> 00:02:14,650
Whiteboards and cooperative structures,

36
00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:19,559
like Numbered Heads Together and
Think-Pair-Share, maximize student output.

37
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:26,210
Number 4 is to make sure that you include
a language objective with every lesson.

38
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:30,440
Language objectives for

39
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,730
content specialists don't
necessarily have to be profound.

40
00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:38,120
But we do have to pay attention to
language development every day.

41
00:02:39,236 --> 00:02:44,220
Number 5, use scaffolding strategies to
meet the needs of all EL students in your

42
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:45,080
classroom.

43
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,090
And tell me something about the bear,
Vanessa,

44
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:52,550
a word that would tell me
something about the bear.

45
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:54,890
He is?

46
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:55,596
>> Brown.

47
00:02:55,596 --> 00:02:57,540
>> Brown, and he is?

48
00:03:00,930 --> 00:03:05,140
Number 6, encourage collaborative or
cooperative learning.

49
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:09,870
Students put their heads together
to solve complex problems.

50
00:03:11,450 --> 00:03:16,060
Number 7, try to draw from
student experiences and culture.

51
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:20,130
Look for
resources that reflect student background.

52
00:03:20,130 --> 00:03:22,240
They need to see themselves
in the material.

53
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,690
Number 8, develop students'
higher order thinking skills.

54
00:03:26,690 --> 00:03:31,600
Graphic organizers and sophisticated
questions help students to think deeper.

55
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,370
Our ninth idea to try to activate and
evaluate students' background knowledge.

56
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,441
Use this kind of tool to determine what
students know prior to an activity.

57
00:03:41,441 --> 00:03:44,560
Revisit it to see what they've learned.

58
00:03:46,290 --> 00:03:46,930
And finally,

59
00:03:46,930 --> 00:03:52,240
our tenth idea is to try to build in some
ongoing performance based assessment.

60
00:03:55,180 --> 00:03:59,750
Compiling performance based assessments
can be a remarkable set of tools for

61
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:01,329
measuring students' performance.

62
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:06,310
Make sure the rubrics that you
use in design are clear and fair.

63
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,302
Of course, these aren't the only things to
consider as you're planning your lessons,

64
00:04:14,302 --> 00:04:17,618
but keep these ten in mind and your
student performance is bound to go up.

65
00:04:17,618 --> 00:04:22,014
Good luck.

66
00:04:22,014 --> 00:04:27,467
