PWCS Educators have access to a variety of resources for teaching ELLs in their school library. However, we often lack time to learn how to utilize many of the tools at our disposal. Middle School Resources for Teaching ELLs is designed to introduce readily available print and electronic resources to help ELLs meet WIDA can do objectives in their learning while also ensuring teachers are incorporating WIDA look fors in their teaching.

The goal of this session is for teachers to walk away with at least three resources they can put to use within the first days of school

Feedback & Constructive Criticism

First, thank you for the wonderful positive feedback on the presentation.

Participant: There could be more resources for math. Linda: Yes! I typically don’t have math teachers asking to collaborate so my experiencewith math resources is not as strong. For topics in math, I believe Kids Infobits is stillgood. For math learning, support and enrichment I would ask the Teacher Librarian at your schoolto collaborate with you on finding a resource to suit the needs of your student. I’d love to explore more math fun in the library.

Participant: Needed more clear directions for computer activitiesLinda: Thanks! I will work on that

Participant: Library of Congress isn’t helpful for Science TeachersLinda: LOC would be sad to see this. If you would like some Science Information, the “Ask a Librarian” feature on the LOC website has been helpful for me. Here is the link: http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ Also, give “everyday mysteries” a chance: http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/Finally, I follow LOC on twitter. It’s kinda fun seeing what pops up randomly from them. You might be surprised.

Again, thanks all. Linda
