Assessing an ELL with little English

Assessing an ELL with little English can be daunting but it can be done.  This screen shot from 
KINDERGARTEN ELL  would definitely help an Primary/Kindergarten teacher with ELLs who have very little English. I thought this should even be printed and put up on the wall for quick reference for the KG educator as assessing should be ongoing and daily in order to help the ELL improve.  Click on the above KINDERGARTEN ELL link to see the document in full (page 44 and 45).

Teaching Games with Different Learning Styles

Below is a fantastic resources which outlines lots of different games and activities in different learning styles.
Games with Different Learning Styles

There were so many great games that I thought this would be good reference.
Looking at the website there are lots of other resources too that would be handy.  Rather than bookmarking on my computer, I thought it would be best to include them in this online portfolio.
Other teachers would also find this resource useful when supporting the ELL, especially in the mainstream classrom. 

Teaching Strategies that Address Trauma and Resilience

This video is well worth watching from time-to-time to remind ourselves about how to deal with trauma and encourage resilience in the ELL learner.

 I thought it was worth including in my portfolio because it reminds us of 'Growth Mindset' and dealing with the entire person, not just the student.
Also, I believe this video can help remind us of the issues that other children (not just ELL's) may be facing in their everyday lives that affect their abilty to learn.
