New Patterns for Teachers of EnglishLanguage LearnersWith recent federal legislation callingfor high-quality teachers andteaching, schools will have to explorenew ways to enhance teachers’ skillssets.The project is comprised of five components thatcontribute to student success, as supported by theliterature: • Training for Capacity Building • TechnicalAssistance for Classroom Support • Teacher Mentoring •Teacher-Parent Partnership • ESL Learning CommunitiesThe process of teacher developmentthrough the practice of teaching is animportant one. The practice of teaching asa medium for teacher developmentrequires:A context of high quality model teaching: High expectations of theteacher resulting in high student engagement and academic success;A process of deep noticing:Observing teachers cometogether to share observationsand insights;A critical result sought is application appropriate tothe observer’s skill level that leads to self-critiqueand self-improvement.An effective lesson for English language learnersincludes: recognizing and drawing on studentexperiences (prior knowledge); allowing for multipleopportunities to demonstrate learning and mastery;aligning with state standards; demonstrating the use oflanguage to develop content; and connecting to real-lifeapplication.In our example described in the first article, thelesson was a microcosm of the larger organicteaching process, showing the relationship amongcontent, language, management and assessment.Readers may recall some key themes of the lesson.For this process we will focus on three groups who mustvalue it: teachers, staff developers, and the larger system orschool district.Teachers – This process has underlying assumptionsabout teachers, their intelligence and their desire to trusttheir own perceptions that increases the chances that theywill apply what they learned and get attached to theprocessStaff Developers – Staff developers want tobring rich context to staff development.They know that a simulation, video ordemonstration modeled in a workshop isnot enough.This process of teacher developmentthrough the practice of teaching is a part ofthe larger IDRA professional developmentand school improvement framework, calledExCELs, which has five major elements.Training for Capacity Building: Workshops ondeveloping a knowledge base for Englishlanguage acquisition; the role of language incontent learning; and diversified forms ofassessment.Teacher Mentoring: modeling, coaching andmaterial sharing. Teacher-Parent Partnership:parent meetings; student/teacher/parentconversations.School District – With the pressure of accountability and higherstandards, schools have to conduct professional development thataccelerates teacher improvement and reduces the time fromintroduction to application in teaching.Double click this nodeto edit the textClick and drag this buttonto create a new node
