EAL
Shout-out!
Welcome back to what is primed to be an outstanding school year! I
was fortunate enough to meet with the AISC Faculty Class of 2019 earlier this
week and let me tell you, they are amazing! And, although my time with them was
very short, I shared with them the AISC Language Philosophy, the demographics
of our ELL population, what the EAL Program covers, and several EAL
professional learning opportunities for all. Feel free to review the slides. If you have any questions or if you
would like me to dive deeper into any of these topics, please let me know! I’m
more than happy to meet with you.
As this is my second year at AISC, I hope to be spending more time
in classrooms, looking for ways to support our ELLs. If you would like me to
come to your class, feel free to add a calendar invite to my schedule. The
calendar invite should include what you’d like me to look for/comment on. I’m
looking forward to seeing you all in your classroom element!
Happy 2019-20!
Peace-
Sarah

P.S. For the newbies: Thank you so much for the wonderful
conversation around the Language Philosophy. After our conversation, I
rephrased my summary. Let me know what you think!
