ASSIGNMENT | Clinical Field Experience

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Spend time observing at least one content area classroom that services ELLs in a Title 1 setting. Let your mentors know that you are observing the implementation of SEI strategies.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
Complete the ‘Adapted Lesson Plan Worksheet’ based on what you observed in a content area classroom. If SEI strategies are not utilized, complete the worksheet by describing how the teaching strategies that you observed could be adapted to better meet the learning needs of ELLs.

SAMPLE SOLUTION

Clinical Field Experience

            English language learners (ELLs) faces double challenge in content area courses such as social studies, literature, math, and science. This is because such learners lack the language skills, literacy and background skills required to understand new content courses (Brenda, 2017). Teachers should therefore adopt relevant strategies in their lesson plans in order to meet the needs of such students. Below is an example of a lesson plan that may be used to teach ELLs in a math lesson
