1b. Schedule
As seen in the school structure, the students will have Math, English Language Arts,
Science, and Social Studies every day.
They will also have a special every day. The special will be different each day. These
specials will include:
Computers
Art
Gym
Library
Language
The ELL students in the classroom will be in an ELL classroom during the English
Language Arts time slot. The students will focus on learning English during this time.
They will also have extra instruction on the day the students have their Foreign
Language special. Instead of going to the special they will go to their ELL teacher for
extra instruction.
2a. Funds
I will use the funds to hire 4 ESL teachers. I believe that the best way for
the students to learn is by having a bilingual teacher rather than
technology or equipment. I also think having less than 4 teachers would
not give each student enough individualized attention.
Since the four languages spoken in the school are almost equally
divided by the 100 ELL students, each teacher would have 25
students.
Since there are four different languages spoken by the students
throughout the school, each teacher will specialize in a different language.
All of the students will be pulled out of their ELA time slot and each grades
ELA time slot will be at a different time throughout the day.
For example if first grade had ELA from 10-11:15, second grade would
not have their ELA time slot until 11:15- 12:30.
Since there are only 4 ESL teachers. 3 rd and 4th graders ELA time slots
will be the same time and they would meet with the teacher at the
same time.
4. Parental Involvement
Parent involvement is very important for every student in the school.
To promote parent involvement I would send home notices, have bulletin boards
with upcoming activities, and I would have a school website with information as
well.
Each classroom teacher will have a e-newsletter where parents can go and keep
updated with what is going on in the classroom.
This will help parents to know how they can get involved in the classroom as
well as give tips so they can help their children continue learning at home.
To bridge language barriers I would send notices home in the parents native
language as well as English so they can see both and maybe begin to learn some
English through reading the notices in both languages.
I will also ensure that each parents knows they are welcome to come in to the school
whenever they have any questions.
For non-English speakers I will ensure that parents know whenever they want to
schedule a meeting I will have a translator present so that we can talk about
any questions or concerns they may have.
