This is the first of the PLC meeting guides developed for use with the text, ELLs in Texas; What Teachers Need to Know. Each participant should have a copy of the book to use in the meeting as well as to refer to in order to complete the activities and learn more.
Before beginning this first meeting, you may want to explain to the participants that each of the PLG Guides is organized in the same way.
We begin each session with a Put It On The Table exercise. Usually, this activity will ask for participants to reflect on and share some aspect of the last exercise from the previous meeting. Following this, the guides will all incorporate the organizing structure of Nancy Motley's Talk, Read, Talk, Write book.
For each of the components, there are specific tasks to complete that target a concept, a strategy, or the use of an activity designed for teachers of ELLs.
At the end of the PLC meeting, there is a final activity - Make It Real, which provides participants with an opportunity to practice or further reflect on their learning. This is the activity that will be accessed in the next session's Put It On The Table opening slide.
Explore a comprehensive PLC guide focusing on supporting English Language Learners (ELLs) in Texas. The guide offers practical advice, discussion prompts, and activities to enhance teachers' understanding and support for ELLs. Topics include expertise elements, sharing experiences, and real-world application of strategies.
