A1 No ESL at present school. Inclusive classrooms/least restrictive environment for IEP Ss. Lots of push in, minimal pull out. #2ndaryELA

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:05 PM EST

Q1: How are ESL and IEP students integrated in your school? #2ndaryELA

teachnouvelle Jan 10 @ 8:05 PM EST

A1: ELLs are in mainstream core classes, but have ESL class instead of an elective (boo!). Ss w/IEPs & ELLs often in same ELA. #2ndaryELA

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1: I have 1 class fo all ELL Ss, all others are inclusion for IEP Ss & those who have exited full time ELL class. #2ndaryela

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:06 PM EST

Bummer that they lose the elective, but yay that they have mainstream English. I hope they enjoy the ESL class! #2ndaryELA

In reply to @teachnouvelle

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1: No separate classes for ELL or IEP students. All students integrated into regular classroom. #2ndaryela

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1: Yes - like @teachnouvelle IEP and ELL in same classes too. #2ndaryela

In reply to @teachnouvelle

elaclassroom Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: They are in all classes. Our coordinators give teachers information. #2ndaryELA

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 We just made a support class for IEP sts. ESL sts have a special Lit class integrating lang & lit w/ more depth/ less breadth #2ndaryela

StephanieKlein7 Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: we have dual language for ESL students, but many refuse BC they have to switch schools. IEP full inclusion #2ndaryela

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: Like @teachnouvelle some classes have IEP and ELL together. Although ELL are on "monitor". #2ndaryela

In reply to @teachnouvelle

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

This was so strange when I started in USA. I'm pretty good at esl, but I had no exp with IEPs #2ndaryELA

In reply to @SpanglerMiddle, @teachnouvelle

teachnouvelle Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

.@mELTingTeacher They enjoy it, but at the price of comm. in a non-core environment. I'm glad they stay on track with core #2ndaryELA

In reply to @mELTingTeacher

KaraGuiff Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 depends on severity of need for IEP Ss...some full inclusion, some with coteacher, some with aide, sime in Resource #2ndaryela

OHSMcLemore Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

IEP students are primarily mainstreamed. Only a few have separate math or ELA labs. Same with SLE. #2ndaryELA

StephanieKlein7 Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

What type of info do your coordinators distribute? #2ndaryela

In reply to @elaclassroom

amberh00ks Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

Depends on student. Some IEPs state "resource" classes. Have a program for newcomer ELLs at hs, but all others are inclusive. #2ndaryELA

KaraGuiff Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

Similar. #2ndaryela

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

Switching schools would be tough. If they aren't dual immersion, no special classes? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @StephanieKlein7

southrnschgrl Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Our specialists determine needs based on data. From there, they provide us w/ checklists of accommodations we can use. #2ndaryELA

.@mELTingTeacher It's my hope to teach in a fully bilingual program one day where all Ss learn both langs #2ndaryELA

In reply to @mELTingTeacher

literarymaven - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

A2 Ss needs communicated thru IEP. Data from in class assessments shared w/IEP case manager so changes can be made as needed. #2ndaryELA

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

Q2 How does your school communicate a student’s possible needs? Or do you do a needs assessment on your own? #2ndaryELA

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

does the curriculum change for this course? Or is it just scaffolded differently? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @SpanglerMiddle

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

I wish we had a "newcomer" class! Instead they just stuff them into my ELL class! (they don't all speak same lang.) #2ndaryela

In reply to @amberh00ks

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

My mom did that in K! I feel like it would be harder to start in high school, but bilingual is the goal #orsoithnk #2ndaryELA

Also offer gen ed intervention class with cap of 15 Ss and half IEP half gen ed. #2ndaryela

A1a: If a student is struggling w/ speaking/listening, I will communicate this to the specialists, who will intervene. #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: New ELL students get an English assessment at a school board office before coming to school. Teachers get a report. #2ndaryela

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: IEPs are very detailed and outline student's strengths and areas of need. #2ndaryela

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:13 PM EST

A little bit of both... #2ndaryela We use Springboard and there is an ELL version.

In reply to @mELTingTeacher

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 Parents haven't always communicated so school doesn't always know. I try to observe & test if needed, but it is chaotic #2ndaryELA

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

I wish they would give me a report! I have to go find it. #2ndaryela

In reply to @mELTingTeacher

amberh00ks Jan 10 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: all S data is housed in Aware and Esped including RTI documentation, IEPs, and TELPAS. Still can see history of Ss. #2ndaryELA

literarymaven - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

A3 Biggest challenge = working with Emotional Support Ss b/c emotional needs constantly change. Academic needs more predictable #2ndaryELA

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

Do counselors give these to you? #2ndaryELA

A2 IEP Tr of Record dissemination ates info about Ss by 2nd week of school...ridiculous in my opinion...should b done b4 start #2ndaryela

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

Is it one of those standard "Lexile level is ___" reports, or does it specify weaknesses / strengths? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @2peasandadog

teachnouvelle Jan 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

A3: My biggest challenge is to build ELL confidence in group work - they get shy about talking, even though ideas are there. #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:15 PM EST

IEPs are co-created by Special Education Resource teachers and classroom teachers. #2ndaryela

A1 ESL and IEP are in almost every class you see. LRE for sure. No separation from mainstrem (except lowest level ESL) #2ndaryela

southrnschgrl Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A1: Our ELLs are integrated into general education classes. #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A3: my biggest challenge is finding grade level content at a reading level for all to be successful. #2ndaryela

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A3 Helping students get that what works for 1 may not work for them. Their friend may not need a graphic organizer, but they may #2ndaryELA

A2: Our specialists determine needs based on data. From there, they provide us w/ checklists of accommodations we can use. #2ndaryELA

OHSMcLemore Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3: I love doing differentiated plans: choice, lab time, it's all good. But TIME to plan new ones...yeah...tough. #2ndaryELA

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

YES! Emotional needs definitely are a challenge. You need a really tight behavior system for them. #2ndaryela

StephanieKlein7 Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3: Difficult to meet the many needs of students in class. Between language, academic, social/emotional needs I can't do it! #2ndaryela

Lyricalswordz Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 This is a challenge. There are systems in place but many different people communicating the needs, some info seems missed #2ndaryela

amberh00ks Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

Amen! And at an appropriate reading level but content doesn't look like kindergarten. #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A3: my biggest challenge is finding grade level content at a reading level for all to be successful. #2ndaryela

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

No the report explains what ELL Stage they are currently working at and a Grade level in Math. #2ndaryela

In reply to @mELTingTeacher

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

Yes! I have some reading VERY VERY low & it can be hard to find content appropriate for them & at their level #2ndaryELA

In reply to @2peasandadog

YES, please! More training with results! #2ndaryela

In reply to @StephanieKlein7, @2peasandadog

KaraGuiff Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3. Putting all types of IEP needs in same room...and too many...2 or 3 pull all time and some Ss never get what is needed. #2ndaryela

OHSMcLemore Jan 10 @ 8:19 PM EST

#2ndaryela There is a website that will convert the content to an easier or harder readbility level!

A3: Working w/Ts on designing class to include meaningful small group instruction based on standards of need. Much like Daily 5. #2ndaryELA

Lyricalswordz Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3 This is where individualized learning really comes into play, which is great, but we need that which we don't have: time #2ndaryela

mELTingTeacher Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

Q4: What extra support does your school provide for students beyond what you have in the classroom? #2ndaryELA

teachnouvelle Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

What's the site? #2ndaryela

In reply to @OHSMcLemore, @2peasandadog

StephanieKlein7 Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

it would be overwhelming to try and learn content while learning language #2ndaryela

In reply to @teachnouvelle

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3: Biggest challenge: getting concepts across to the students with their limited knowledge of English. I use lots of visuals...#2ndaryela

southrnschgrl Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: My biggest challenge is making sure my ELL students feel comfortable joining group/class discussions. #2ndaryELA

literarymaven - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

A4 Ss participate in regular class & receive additional support or instruction from IEP T based on IEP. IEP T helps modify work #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

A4: We have an ELL and IEP support teacher. But they have to help everyone on their caseload. Not just Grades 6-8 students. #2ndaryela

OHSMcLemore Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

#2ndaryela Okay, I'll pop out for a bit and see if I can find the site.

StephanieKlein7 Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

In reply to @StephanieKlein7, @2peasandadog

That's the point though, right? Ss learn faster w/social motivation if you can get them to take the first step #2ndaryELA

In reply to @StephanieKlein7

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:22 PM EST

A4: I may see a translator once per week and a support facilitator once a week. #2ndaryela Otherwise I am on my own!

southrnschgrl Jan 10 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4: My school is always offering free resources/books + professional development opportunities. #2ndaryELA

southrnschgrl Jan 10 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4(a): Plus, their open-door policy makes me comfortable enough to come and ask for help when I need it. #2ndaryELA

Q5: What's the best activity, project, or method of differentiation you've found works with your ESL or IEP students? #2ndaryELA

teachnouvelle Jan 10 @ 8:25 PM EST

A5: I've learned to chunk EVERYTHING -- even one page can be chunked into steps for increased comprehension. #2ndaryELA

A5 Providing choices as a method of differentiation for all students so students with an IEP don't feel singled out. #2ndaryela

A5 cont. Just because students don't have IEPs doesn't mean their needs are identical. #2ndaryELA

Lyricalswordz Jan 10 @ 8:27 PM EST

A5 Choice choice choice! Give choice of content, process, or product. Interest level trumps reading level. Figure out scaffolds! #2ndaryela

SpanglerMiddle Jan 10 @ 8:28 PM EST

I think PRO lets you assign articles to individual Ss? #2ndaryela

In reply to @Lyricalswordz
