TA: Full Session
Articulating their knowledge supports students in developing understandings they will need in successfully creating MSDLAs and implement the principles that guide best practices in regular, day-to-day teaching with ELs.
Students have been introduced to TELL Tools in prerequisite courses. They will now review their knowledge of three tools used in the current course by participating in MSDLAs focused on developing and deepening their knowledge of these tools.
Instructions:
For this class there are several major assignments.
Each class member now needs to post one idea about second language acquisition, supporting ELs in being literate, or attending to culturally and linguistically diverse students. (The teacher will scan the chat and share two or three ideas).
For this class session, you will work with your groups in breakout rooms to complete each of the 5 centers. First, each individual person needs to download the Tell Tools Worksheet using this link. (TELL TOOLs Discovery Sheets.docx linked here.)
Along with your individual worksheet, some of the centers will have additional group worksheets, discussions, and tasks that you will complete as directed, as a whole group. REMEMBER, your group only has to fill out and submit ONE copy of the group worksheet with everyones' names on it.
In your group, start with center 1 and work your way through to center 5. The directions will walk you completely through what you need to do and what you need to turn in. If you have any questions, the instructor will be hopping around the breakout rooms.
