Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

The English Language Development program at our High School serves students who are newcomers to the country, whose educational experience varies greatly, from no prior schooling, to gaps of years, to some who have completed many years of school and simply need to take our courses in order to learn proper conversational and academic English.

The languages spoken by our students are the most varied in the district, and the potential for a class with 10 different home languages is the norm, and their cultural backgrounds are the most diverse in the school district.

My Project

My students come to me with little to no English and significantly interrupted school experiences. The textbook we use at school is only one resource we use and is woefully inadequate in helping students gain the vocabulary they need to survive and thrive on campus, and in the world off-campus.

A picture dictionary is an essential tool for students to tailor their learning to their needs.

It has thematic pages with related vocabulary to give them the words they need while they learn to write and read English.

Creating these sorts of resources on our own takes valuable time away from planning the complex lessons already required to deliver essential literacy instruction. A class set of these books will last for at least 10 years and will allow us to ground our new arrivals with a sense of understanding and the keys to learning what is a very challenging language, even for those of us who grew up speaking it at home.
