+ Collaboratio n - Curriculum & Instruction Jenn Romriell & Sara Madahamiri

+ Curriculum and Instruction Regular time to correlate curriculum and instruction Reinforcement Collaboration Protocol Knowing what Standards, concepts and skills are being taught by each teacher Coordinating and supporting concepts and skills across the two languages Sharing resources Regularly discussing and problem solving around student outcomes Sharing responsibility for interventions

+ Teamwork! We need to build our curriculum together in order to be successful!

+ Teamwork Plan with each other which literacy skills each partner will teach so as to use limited time wisely. Make sure the literacy block is divided evenly between English and the target language. Integrate science topics into lessons when possible. Connect appropriate topic ideas to science when possible. Use writing tasks for content areas and topics.

+ Integration Do what you are already doing - integrate - BUT MORE! You have less time than ever before! Shared Reading: Read books based on the science and math topics needing to be taught or reinforced. Writing : “Readworks” or other programs that improve writing while talking about science or math. Get creative, but ALWAYS cover multiple concepts in one lesson. You don’t have the time!

+ English Teacher Responsibilities Grades 1-3 Teach the English Language Arts (ELA) Utah Core Curriculum in Language Arts = 140 minutes daily Reinforce the Utah Core Curriculum for Math, Social Studies & Science = 40 minutes daily Assessments

+ English Teacher Responsibilities Grades 4-5 Teach English Literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening, spelling, content literacy skills, etc.) Teach Math Teach the Social Studies lessons (these MUST be taught in English) Assessments

+ English Teacher Responsibilities Grade 6 Teach English Literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening, spelling, content literacy skills, etc.) Teach Math Teach the Science lessons (these MUST be taught in English) Assessments

+ Trust

+

+ “Speed happens when people truly trust each other”. -Edward Marshall

+ Trust Trust is your relationship to the unknown when you can't control; and you can't control everything.

+ Trust It's not all or none. It is a slow and steady practice of learning about the capacity of the world, and it’s worth it to keep trying, and it’s not easy.

+ Trust Trust is like invisible hands we stretch out to into the world, looking for someone to hold on to as we walk into the future.

+ How to Build Curriculum Lesson plan together... Rocks - Science Algebra - Math

+ Scope & Sequence Year long plan Target language has a plan and English teacher has a plan Compare plans and try to make them uniform Be flexible: students may need more or less instruction and concept mastery Collaborate together and have a similar scope and sequence

+ Scope & Sequence Sample Compacted Curriculum

+ Scope & Sequence Sample Compacted Curriculum

+ Assessment Make sure all testing is being done with both classes and complete. District and State Tests are in English. Correct and enter grades together. (This helps both teachers understand each student’s progress.) You have double the paper work, so consider strategies that involve the students to correct instead of doing it ALL yourself !

+ Team Curriculum Collaboration Involve other teachers in your grade level. Collaborate at the beginning and end of the year with teachers across grade levels.

+ Take Away “Double Dip” “Biggest Bang For Your Buck” “Be On the Same Page” “Front Load”
