Methods, Approaches, and Strategies for EB Students

Methods, Approaches, and Strategies for EB Students

1. Metacognitive strategies

   • learners follow steps while learning to self regulate: - plan/organize - monitor/identify problems - evaluate tasks - manage learning
     • Example: Completing a STEM activity using a graphic organizer to follow the steps listed above (click page icon to see example)

2. Task Based Strategies

   • cognitive, affective, memory, social, and sensory strategies are all apart of this strategy using CALLA method
     • Students use prior knowledge and senses to complete activities depending on the learner's preference
       • Example: Using Reader's Theatre to read a passage; making a flow chart of organized information; using prior knowledge and inquiry to learn more about a topic using KWL charts

3. 5 Principles of Go-To Strategies

   • Principle 1: Focus on academic language, literacy, and vocab
     • Principle 2: Link prior knowledge and culture
       • Principle 3: Increase comprehensible input and output
         • Principle 4: Promote classroom interaction
           • Principle 5: Stimulate higher order thinking & learning strategy use
             • using teacher scaffolding to promote critical thinking skills among learners and allows students to use skills learned to apply it to their learning independently
               • Example: Allowing students to use the expert and novice activity: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S1cb2hGh-B-NX7d4mDLX1BaQ9pUVaJyHMMEx0p-aZL8/edit?usp=sharing
           • the use of different interaction activities, games, etc. that allow students to practice speaking and listening
             • Example: the use of strategies such as chat stations: https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/chat-stations/
         • ensuring that the language and information is comprehensible through the use of modeling, guiding, pictures, and graphic organizers and allowing student ample time and opportunities to practice language
           • Example: Teach! Teach! Activity: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hekP30YSwG-5poUIU3c1Un6PBHH66enYPNYeXEMHjWc/edit?usp=sharing
       • activating student's schema prior to, during, and after lessons to enhance student understanding through the use of KWL charts, T charts, mind maps, picture walks, etc.
         • Example: using the detective strategy seen here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QJ_rbSUcuWoeGOvReDnVO6eqxDSPm54xz4MLZNUZ87A/edit?usp=sharing
     • using graphic organizers, teacher modeled behavior, peer assistance and other supports to enhance student understanding of academic language
       • Example: using a graphic organizer to clarify and organize information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VAc6ENpLFVYZLWVyCzKkz8a_aG0FIMoXotsP60YuhIc/edit?usp=sharing

4. Integrated Content-Based Method

   • this method of instruction typically uses a thematic unit and addresses content standards beyond one subject. It incorporates academic language as well as conversational language
     • Example: A lesson on Black History Month that incorporates KWL charts, reading non fiction text, creating a graphic organizer, collaborating with peers, etc.

5. Sheltered Instruction Method

   • this method uses multiple strategies and techniques to deliver instruction in a manner that is comprehensible for all learners
     • SIOP uses hands on, visuals, guarded vocabulary, and cooperative learning within each lesson
       • Example: Identifying parts of a plant - pre teaching vocabulary using images - finding a hook activity to interest students - allowing students to work together to create a product

6. Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach

   • this approach uses explicit instruction by a teacher to teach content material using cognitive strategies and allows learners to apply strategies on their own to achieve success and understanding in academic content
