ELL RESOURCES
ELL or English Language Learners are students who are learning English as a second language. When you go on the Internet their are thousands of websites set up to assist teachers, parents, and students. Here are 7 websites to help.
From the National Council of Teachers of English
This site gives you the background of ELL policy. It also gives guidelines of how to teach students who are ELLs. This site is a great resource because it gives you background information for all grade levels and gives great ideas when you teach. This is a great resource as a teacher.
From the National Education Association:
This website gives you strategies for teaching students who are ELL. The NEA also gives you another resource when closing the achievement gap between ELL's and non- ELL students. This is a great resource for teachers because it gives standards that several teachers use and they give you an opportunity to contact the English Language Learner program.
From the Utah Education Network
This website has guidelines, lesson plans, resources for teachers, and resources for the students. This website was created for Utah teachers, students and parents. It is great that they give so much information for students and parents, it is not just for teachers. This will be of great use when I become a teacher and I will refer to this website for parents as well.
This article is a great resource because it give you information on myths that surround students who are ELL's. The authors also list conclusion based on their studies. I like this website because they discuss myths that people believe and the reasoning why these myths are wrong. I love this article and will use this to debunk my own biases when teaching students who are ELLs.
From the Utah state office of Education this website give teachers information on Title III. This website also gives resources for teaching Ells and gives you an overview of Assessments when you are working the students who are ELLs. This is a website I will refer to as a teacher because it give important information from the state of Utah that I will need to adhere to when I begin teaching.
This website give teachers information on how they can help reduce the achievement gap in the pre-k to third grade classroom when you teach students who are ELLs. I love this article because it focuses on the lower grades which I hope to teach. This is a wonderful resource for me.
This article give guidelines on response to intervention protocols when working with students who are ELLs. This is a great website for teachers to help understand what needs to be done to help our students, and to make sure they are receiving the best education.
These are just seven websites their are thousands more and each give valuable information for teachers and parents.
