My Project

During the school year, I don't have a lot of time to read professional development books that would help me improve my practice. The relaxed summer schedule is the perfect time to plan out a teacher book club to strengthen my skills as an educator. This summer I want my focus to be on my multilingual learners. I am working with multilingual learners in various content areas and need quick and easy strategies that would allow me to help my students build a stronger understanding of the English Language while also building their content knowledge in those subject areas. I am looking forward to using the "39 No-Prep/Low-Prep ESL Speaking Activities: For Teenagers and Adults" book because speaking is such an integral part of building language. I am hoping that this book will give me quick and easy activities that will get everyone talking!

I am hoping that "ESL Games for the Classroom: 101 Interactive Activities to Engage Your Students with Minimal Prep" and "The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide: Ready-to-Use Strategies, Tools, and Activities for Teaching English Language Learners of All Levels" book will help me add robust vocabulary, oracy, reading, and writing strategies that will help to round out my content lessons daily.

"Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students" is a professional book I have been wanting to read for a long time. I am hoping that this text will help me better understand how I can create lessons and activities that meet the needs of all my students.
