Principle Of Language Learning

My Principles
Principle #1- Students must be engaged in language learning that is relevant, challenging, integrative, and exploratory.
A. Summary: Learning should occur in a differentiated environment so that students can access the curriculum at their given grade level. According to this principle, all students must be taught at grade level regardless of ELL category. Students must be accommodated in ways that allow them access and engage in the curriculum without isolation from their peers.
B. Why I picked this principle: I believe that language learning is developed experientially and language learning should not be divorced from learning the curriculum. For example, it is necessary for ELL students in the seventh grade to learn seventh

A. Summary: Students should feel confident that they are in an environment where it is safe to make mistakes. Language learning should occur organically, with opportunities to speak and write for the purpose of expressing ideas without a need for correction. Family support ensures that the goals of school and home are connected. The need to understand the impact of culture on learning necessitates community involvement.
B. Why I picked this principle. We learn from our mistakes. However, many students are hesitant to participate out of fear of peer ridicule or teacher criticism. Some parents may be reluctant to visit the school because of language barriers or bad experiences during their own schooling. Trial and error and academic risk-taking encourages students to persist. Family support is an indicator of student success. As William H. Jeyens states in his 2005 Harvard Family Research Project, “parental involvement is associated with higher student achievement

Summary: In my classroom, every student is expected to achieve at his or her highest performance level.
B. Why I picked this principle: I picked this principle because expectations lead to outcomes. High expectations yield high outcomes. Similarly, low expectations yield low outcomes. Limiting access to challenging content for culturally and linguistically diverse students is tantamount to academic, economic and social inequality.
C. How I will implement this principle: From the start of the school year, I will establish and communicate academic and classroom expectations to students and their families. Students will have a stake in classroom management as they work with me to establish behavior and work habit ground rules for themselves. The behavior agreement will change yearly, in order to reflect the unique composition of each class. A well-managed class is essential to an environment of academic integrity. Students will understand that they are a part of team I will actively engage students in all instructional tasks in the ways described in the principles above. My teaching strategies will have built-in scaffolds so that all learners can access the curriculum. Audio, visual, oral and hands-on supports will make the content accessible to all
