My Students
English Language Learners from diverse cultural backgrounds with a passion for learning are limited only by their mastery of the English language and the time it takes to master it. While this could describe all of the students in my school, it best describes the ESL population that I have the pleasure of working with.
Awesome learners doing amazing things!
My students are like most of the students within our school community with one major exception; they are all learning English, but their native language is Spanish.
Though it may sound simple, it is a very complex task to listen, speak, read, and write in a language that is new to you, especially when your family is limited in their ability to help you outside of school. Keep in mind, my students are doing this with the same expectations as the native English speaking students in their classes. Books, classwork, required testing, grades, report cards, recess, even lunch - in English. These awesome learners model perseverance daily as they seek academic growth and success!
My Project
We have just 30 minutes a day to learn and master a second language through listening, speaking, reading and writing activities that support the academic content being taught in their classrooms! It requires strategically planned and meaningful lessons delivered in the most efficient ways to meet my students' language development needs while supporting the content they are learning. Without headphones, my students cannot fully utilize the technology that allows me to specifically target and reinforce their listening skills.
Headphones are a critical tool for EL students when learning, applying, and strengthening their listening skills.
Thoughtful planning, amazing apps, and an eagerness to learn simply aren't enough when you have up to a dozen students trying to complete listening activities being delivered via the computer in the classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
