Mariana Quintana February 1, 2024 TSL3080 Week 4: Weekly Assignment 1. I would define advocacy as someone who supports a cause, the voice of a group of people. An advocate is the voice and help others who can’t really help themselves. According to the definition that they gave on the textbook, an advocate for ELs as working for ELs equitable and excellent education by taking appropriate actions on their behalf. I also learned about scaffolded advocacy. This is something that I had never heard before. What I learned about scaffolded advocacy is that we as educators will use this to help ELs and their families understand the US educational system and develop their voices so they can advocate for themselves. I believe that this is very important to do because we want them to become independent and be active members of society in every aspect of it. I see myself advocating for ELs and their families as a communicator. Sharing information and providing them with resources that may help them thrive. I would also seek assistance and better inform myself with other teachers and administration to get different opinions and options for my ELs students to maximize their learning experience. 2. Chapter two in Advocating for English Learners was about shared responsibilities to teach ELs. The definition they gave in the textbook, shared responsibility describes the mindset that all educators must see themselves as equal stakeholders who must strive to positively influence the education of ELs in the classroom as well as outside of school. Shared responsibility is combining the expectations for ELs and their beliefs about educating them and supporting them through working together with other teachers, administrators, and the community to thrive for the success of ELs. I also learned about some of the factors that influence shared responsibilities. These factors follow a sequence, and they start by first examining their beliefs and expectations about language and working with ELs and reflect on their own culture and how it will impact their teaching, then they build empathy for ELs and their families and finally work with ESL teachers, content teachers, and administrators together to come up with a plan together. This process is continually changing to accommodate new ELs and their families and as other issues arise along the way. I believe that we should all work together collaborate and share ideas to come up with a plan for all students. The responsibility should be shared between all staff because that’s our responsibility. Our job is to ensure that all students ELs or not to succeed and thrive. 3. As a teacher, I believe that teacher reflection is very important. We need to be able to reflect on our teaching and teaching styles and be able to see what we want to gain out of it. We need to be able to identify our strengths and weaknesses and see what works and what doesn’t. We need to be able to self-evaluate ourselves and work on those
weaknesses to better ourselves and move forward to maximize the growth of our teaching.
