The use of the iPad and Apple TV will be used daily in my role as ELL strategist. According to the NV DOE website, "Approximately 17% of Nevada’s K-12 students are designated “EL” (English Learner)." At my school, we are around that same percentage of ELL students. ELL students benefit from best practices in every classroom, which include use of visuals, graphic organizers, and realia. The Apple devices will allow me to do that in my intervention groups, and allow me to model best practices for the teachers I am training on campus. The devices will also allow me to train staff on the Nevada ELD standards and how they connect and intertwine with the NVAC standards. Below are the standards for your reference.
The Nevada ELD Standards are:
1. Social and Instructional language: English language learners communicate for Social and Instructional purposes within the school setting
2. The language of Language Arts: English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Language Arts
3. The language of Mathematics: English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Mathematics
4. The language of Science: English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Science
5. The language of Social Studies: English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area of Social Studies
The Apple devices will allow me to help integrate these very important standards into the classrooms around my K-12 building. The devices will allow me to provide effective trainings on this, and model best practices in trainings. Students will also have access to these devices and will be encouraged to demonstrate their knowledge and lead small groups.
