00:00:18.598 --> 00:00:21.350
Hello, my name is Ron Roheck.

00:00:21.350 --> 00:00:25.310
I'm an educational consultant that
specializes in the field of sheltered

00:00:25.310 --> 00:00:26.660
instruction.

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:31.440
That is, I provide tactics and strategies
for teachers to use when ELL students

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.920
are present in their content areas,
like math and science and social studies.

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.740
These strategies are based on
English learner best practices.

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:42.450
These best practices are based
on research, such as

00:00:42.450 --> 00:00:47.100
the Sheltered Instruction Observation
Protocol, or SIOP, a professional

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.780
development model, developed by
the Center for Applied Linguistics,

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:54.700
as well as years of classroom testing
in schools across the country.

00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:58.180
From this research and class testing,
my colleagues at Course Crafters and

00:00:58.180 --> 00:01:03.270
I have created a list of best
practices that reflect their research.

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:10.130
Number 1, make your language and
content comprehensible.

00:01:10.130 --> 00:01:12.668
Cuz my question is whether or

00:01:12.668 --> 00:01:17.228
not the liquids are gonna be the same or
different.

00:01:17.228 --> 00:01:20.690
You see these two balls, golf balls, okay?

00:01:20.690 --> 00:01:22.109
These guys look the same, don't they?

00:01:22.109 --> 00:01:22.830
>> Yes.

00:01:22.830 --> 00:01:23.650
>> Right, these two guys look the same?

00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:25.230
>> Yeah.

00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:28.910
But these two guys look different,
all right?

00:01:29.910 --> 00:01:33.800
Same, different, okay?

00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:34.760
So now my question.

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.452
Do you think these liquids are the same?

00:01:38.452 --> 00:01:41.390
>> No.
>> Or are the liquids are different?

00:01:41.390 --> 00:01:42.095
>> The same.

00:01:42.095 --> 00:01:43.179
>> So you think they're the same?

00:01:44.380 --> 00:01:47.730
Number 2, provide hands-on activities.

00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:49.955
For me, this is the engine
that drives the classroom.

00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:57.712
Our third idea is to include
interactive instruction.

00:02:00.377 --> 00:02:04.377
>> Interactive lesson planning
promotes active participation and

00:02:04.377 --> 00:02:07.870
promotes multiple pathways for discussion.

00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:11.410
Teacher to student, student to teacher,
student to student.

00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:14.650
Whiteboards and cooperative structures,

00:02:14.650 --> 00:02:19.559
like Numbered Heads Together and
Think-Pair-Share, maximize student output.

00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:26.210
Number 4 is to make sure that you include
a language objective with every lesson.

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:30.440
Language objectives for

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:34.730
content specialists don't
necessarily have to be profound.

00:02:34.730 --> 00:02:38.120
But we do have to pay attention to
language development every day.

00:02:39.236 --> 00:02:44.220
Number 5, use scaffolding strategies to
meet the needs of all EL students in your

00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:45.080
classroom.

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.090
And tell me something about the bear,
Vanessa,

00:02:50.090 --> 00:02:52.550
a word that would tell me
something about the bear.

00:02:54.150 --> 00:02:54.890
He is?

00:02:54.890 --> 00:02:55.596
>> Brown.

00:02:55.596 --> 00:02:57.540
>> Brown, and he is?

00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:05.140
Number 6, encourage collaborative or
cooperative learning.

00:03:06.610 --> 00:03:09.870
Students put their heads together
to solve complex problems.

00:03:11.450 --> 00:03:16.060
Number 7, try to draw from
student experiences and culture.

00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:20.130
Look for
resources that reflect student background.

00:03:20.130 --> 00:03:22.240
They need to see themselves
in the material.

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.690
Number 8, develop students'
higher order thinking skills.

00:03:26.690 --> 00:03:31.600
Graphic organizers and sophisticated
questions help students to think deeper.

00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:36.370
Our ninth idea to try to activate and
evaluate students' background knowledge.

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.441
Use this kind of tool to determine what
students know prior to an activity.

00:03:41.441 --> 00:03:44.560
Revisit it to see what they've learned.

00:03:46.290 --> 00:03:46.930
And finally,

00:03:46.930 --> 00:03:52.240
our tenth idea is to try to build in some
ongoing performance based assessment.

00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:59.750
Compiling performance based assessments
can be a remarkable set of tools for

00:03:59.750 --> 00:04:01.329
measuring students' performance.

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:06.310
Make sure the rubrics that you
use in design are clear and fair.

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.302
Of course, these aren't the only things to
consider as you're planning your lessons,

00:04:14.302 --> 00:04:17.618
but keep these ten in mind and your
student performance is bound to go up.

00:04:17.618 --> 00:04:22.014
Good luck.

00:04:22.014 --> 00:04:27.467
