The Big Book of Tasks for English Language Development, Grades K-8 by Nancy Akhavan Pdf

Ready-to-go English Language Development tasks that focus on students "doing the doing" of talking, reading, listening, and responding. In recent years, the percentage of English Language Learners (ELLs) has increased in almost every state, so most teachers are faced with the challenge of teaching literacy to students acquiring English alongside English-speaking students. However, in many integrated learning situations, English Language Development (ELD) instruction is strikingly different than the teaching we provide students whose first language is English. The Big Book of Tasks for English Language Development helps teachers meet that challenge head-on! Bestselling author and esteemed education consultant Nancy Akhavan shows that teaching multilingual learners requires changing our instruction to focus on practices that have high impact for students as they acquire language. Yet it’s not about doing more— it’s about doing smarter. It’s about having high expectations for all students and providing scaffolds to support students at all levels of English language proficiency as they learn and grow more confident. All the ready-to-go activities in the book Center on active tasks where students do the thinking, talking, reading, and writing, with appropriate support Activate the domains of language — listening, speaking, reading, and writing — and recognize that these do not develop at the same rate Honor the continuum of language development and build on what students can do Provide teaching tools such as learning targets, suggestions for when to use a task, basic instructions and "teacher talk" for launching a task, and "Watch Fors and Work-Arounds" Focus on the linguistic assets multilingual learners bring to the classroom and provide opportunities to help them collaborate with peers With Akhavan’s signature straight-forward, teacher-friendly style, this book offers an uplifting reminder that with the right teaching strategies, educators can support multilingual learners to achieve their full potential and thrive in their learning journeys.

The Big Book of Tasks for English Language Development, Grades K-8 by Nancy L. Akhavan Pdf

"The Big Book of Tasks for English Language Development provides 60 activities that children who are learning English as a new language can do on their own, with some scaffolding, to build their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in their new language. The tasks are organized around WIDA levels of proficiency - entering, beginning, developing, expanding, bridging, and reaching - offering specific guidance around how to introduce and scaffold tasks to students wherever they are on the continuum so they really can do, learn, and grow as readers and writers in English. An instructional task is the actual work students are involved in during a lesson. A task is not what teachers think the students are doing, or what a lesson plan or book says students should be doing, or a teacher's hypothesis about what students will do; it is what students actually do. Instruction improves when teachers are able to plan a great task, and then pull it off with students really doing the work and the learning! This book offers 101 ready-to-go tasks that teachers can implement so the focus of instruction is on students "doing the doing" of talking, reading, listening, and responding"--

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment by Sandra L. Stacki,Micki M. Caskey,Steven B. Mertens Pdf

The lives of middle school students are dynamic, and their needs and desires are always evolving. They experience more complicated lives as influences of the broader society including popular media and technology, immigration and cultural diversity, amplified political divisiveness, and bullying effect their daily lives both in and out of school. These influences have contributed to the need for more socialemotional support and the desire of students and teachers alike to find and express their voices. Since the publication of the 2002 Handbook volume focusing on curriculum, instruction, and assessment, the ideas, approaches, and practices of middle school educators and researchers have also needed to evolve and change in many ways to meet these changing realities and the needs of students, teachers, and schools. This volume includes chapters focusing on varying aspects of curriculum, instruction, and assessment currently being implemented in middle grades classrooms across the country.
