ELA Guidebooks: Supporting English Learners Deeper Dive Education Northwest Rosie Santana LDOE DL Team two- 80 minute sessions Teacher Leader Summit June 2019

Objectives Today’s session emphasizes intentional planning for student interaction using the Louisiana Guidebooks for English Language Arts. We will collaboratively analyze a sample lesson with the Task Analysis Process and look at a simple planning frame for scaffolding language development opportunities in content. The principle outcome of today’s session is to apply the task analysis process to define how and where to scaffold our instruction in the LA Guidebooks Participant Google doc can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/y2gcfg93 LDOE DL Team two- 80 minute sessions

Learning Outcomes Apply the task analysis process to a lesson from the Louisiana Guidebooks to anticipate how and where to scaffold instruction for EL students. Analyze and interpret classroom tasks to determine which pedagogical shifts and Louisiana Connectors apply. Design scaffolds for preparing the learner, interacting with text, and extending learning. Model lesson scaffolds for promoting student interaction.

Apprenticeship Heritage, Walqui, and Linquanti (2015) urge education professionals to take a close look at how schools have progressed, noting that the majority of schools follow traditional models of teachers at the front of the class, leading classes of largely silent students seated in individual rows. Students learning English as a new language will not get the practice they need if they’re silently seated in class. This movement from language learning as an individual process to a social process of apprenticeship is a core shift proposed by Heritage, Walqui, and Linquanti  in English Language Learners and the New Standards. The authors lean heavily on Vygotsky’s principle of the Zone of Proximal Development - that students learn best when they are engaged by their peers to bridge what they can do autonomously and expand their understanding of concepts, language, and cognition with collaborative support. This principle is inherently socio-cultural because it recognizes that “language learning is best fostered by participation in structured interactions that provide {students} opportunity over time to develop conceptual understandings, analytical practices, and dynamic language use in a domain. An optimal way of characterizing this process of participation is apprenticeship.”

Analyze the text The text says … (analyze for resonating quote) I say … (interpret in own words) So … (impact - so what?)
