Equipping ELLs 172. Simplifying ELL Instruction: A Series on Effective Teaching Frameworks for All Four Domains
Do you feel like instruction for your ELLs is overwhelming and complicated?
Welcome to a brand-new series from the Equipping ELLs podcast! In this exciting kickoff episode, host Beth Vaucher sets the stage for a transformative journey designed to empower educators of multilingual learners. Whether you're teaching kindergarten or high school, this series will equip you with cutting-edge frameworks and actionable strategies to support English language learners (ELLs) more effectively than ever before.
Beth opens by addressing the challenges educators face when working with ELLs, and introduces the concept of having a roadmap, a set of proven teaching frameworks that streamline lesson planning, differentiate instruction, and provide structured, scaffolded support. From Harvard's Project Zero to Project GLAD, Visible Thinking, and Talk for Writing, these are not just buzzwords, they're game-changing methodologies that make content accessible and engaging for all learners.
You’ll hear why now, even at the end of the school year, is the perfect time to begin experimenting with these tools. Starting today means you'll walk into the next school year more confident and prepared with a full toolkit ready to go.
Listeners can expect future episodes to feature real classroom examples, expert interviews, and practical tips that are easy to implement immediately. Plus, if you're tuning in on YouTube, you'll gain exclusive visual access to classroom demonstrations of these frameworks in action, an invaluable addition for any visual learner or hands-on educator.
