Harrison educators are ready to Up the Bar!
Dear Educators,
Thank you for participating in the Sheltered Instruction learning experience.
Thank you for participating in the Sheltered Instruction learning experience.
- The Keynote that was delivered on the first day of school lay the groundwork for KYS. The presentation is worth revisiting, as Knowing Your Students is the critical first step to authentically meeting their learning needs.
- The BICS vs CALP article is a quick must-read, as it will help to explain the difference between social and academic language, an important distinction that needs to be made.
- The Comprehensible Input presentation is also worth a second glance, now that you have a more clear understanding of the need to make input more explicitly comprehensible, i.e. by sheltering instruction.
- The additional materials below the Comprehensible Input Presentation are excellent resources that you may refer to over time. You may even want to print them out and place them beside you when you are planning upcoming lessons/units.
