ESL 540/536/546 Helen Boles-Nichols Clinical Field Experience B: ELL Instructional Strategies GCU: ESL 540 Professor Tvedt October 25, 2023,

ESL 540/536/546 Name: Helen Boles-Nichols Clinical Field Experience B: ELL Instructional Strategies Grade Level: Teacher Name: Date of Observation: Kindergarten Ms. Brown 10/24/2023 Summary of your observation (Summary should be about 250 words): I had the opportunity to spend my observational time at Laurus Academy in Ms. K Brown’s kindergarten classroom. I asked Ms. B how many ELL students were in currently in her classroom and she stated that it was 3. At the start of the lesson my mentor, asked questions about the assignment to determine if the students had any prior knowledge and understood what the assignment requirements were. She stated that she likes to do a quick review and question answer period as well because this helps her to see who is gaining knowledge in the lesson presents as well as redirect the students whom seem to get off track from time to time and by asking questions this typically redirects the students back to the subject . After the Q and A and instructions given the students were allowed to partner with another student, or work individually. A timer was displayed on the white board, to help students track how much time they had to complete the assignment. Ms. B told the students that if they worked hard and remained focused and they were unable to complete the assignment she would give them some time later to complete this assignment once they completed their other classwork. Once the students were started she then focused more attention on her ELL students to ensure they completed understood the assignment. She provided them with some picture/word cards that was associated with the lesson she stated that this helps to promote a better understanding of the lesson. Mrs. Brown walked around the

ESL 540/536/546 classroom where she was able to give the students instant feedback on the assignment of answer a question if needed. There were many opportunities for me to observe the students working together and individually on the lesson and to observer how she moved throughout the room to monitor the student as they worked. Ms. Brown gave me multiple tools that I can utilize in my classroom. Teacher Interview: Strategies to teach EL Students.
