SEI: Using Technology to Support ELLs in SEI and ESL/ELD Classrooms

This course will provide in-service teachers with the subject matter knowledge, professional standards, skills and dispositions essential to effectively shelter their content instruction through the effective use of technology to ensure English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms will successfully access curriculum and achieve academic success. Teachers will learn about theories and experience evidence-based instructional practices, protocols, methods and strategies to support students in the application of the MA ELA standards using technology as a scaffold and as a means of demonstrating content area knowledge. Teachers will have opportunities to practice specific modeled instructional strategies and technology applications for teaching English Language Learners while promoting language development in all language domains (reading, speaking, listening, writing) in ways appropriate for ELL students at different language proficiency levels. Teachers will take into account Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the English Language Development (ELD) World Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) standards and the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework, which incorporates the CCSS (PreK-12), when creating and/or revising lesson plans. They will use the Teacher Endorsement Lesson Plan Template, approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, to create mini-lessons focused on integrating technology for the target grade level/content area.
