NOVEMBER 30, 2015LISA KEMPTON
SOCIOCULTURAL ASPECTS FOR ELL AND BILINGUAL STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM
• VALUES/BELIEFS• RELIGION • SUPPORT IN THE CLASSROOM• ECONOMIC STATUS• PAST EXPERIENCE IN THE CLASSROOM SETTING• NATIVE LANGUAGE
CULTURAL IMPACT OF BILINGUALISM AND HOME LANGUAGE USE FOR ELLS
• STUDENTS SPEAK ENGLISH AT SCHOOL AND THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE AT HOME.
• IDENTITY CONFUSION• STUDENTS CAN LEARN ABOUT A NEW CULTURE FROM LEARNING TO
SPEAK ENGLISH AND CAN RELATE NOW TO 2 GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
STRATEGIES AND RESOURCES FOR CULTIVATING HOME & SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
• THE SCHOOL CAN INFORM THE PARENTS ON A CONSTANT BASIS ABOUT EDUCATIONAL GOALS, EVENTS, AND HOW THEIR CHILD IS DOING.
• THE SCHOOL CAN SEEK THE PARENTS’ ADVICE ON HOW TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOL ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY.
• THE SCHOOL CAN USE TRANSLATORS WHEN NECESSARY.• SPECIAL PROGRAMS CAN BE ORGANIZED TO HELP MEET FAMILIES’ LANGUAGE AND
CULTURE NEEDS.• SCHOOL CAN HOST A BILINGUAL FAMILY NIGHT.• WWW.COLORINCOLORADO.ORG IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR ELL STUDENTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES AND TEACHERS!
STRATEGIES FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HOME AND SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
• KEEP A LOG OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT (I.E. WHAT PARENTS CONTRIBUTED WHEN)
• MAKE CONTACT WITH THE PARENTS BEFORE AND AFTER PARTICIPATION OCCURS.
• KEEP FILES OF PAST PARENTS THOUGHTS ABOUT THEIR INVOLVEMENT AND WHAT COULD BE DONE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IN CULTIVATING A POSITIVE HOME AND SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP FOR ELL STUDENTS
• LEADERS MUST BE ROLE MODELS FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS.• LEADERS MUST LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT CULTURES OF ELL STUDENTS
AND DISTRIBUTE THE INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL.• LEADERS MUST MAKE POSITIVE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STAFF AND
PARENTS TO ESTABLISH GOOD RELATIONSHIPS.• LEADERS MUST PROVIDE RESOURCES TO ELL FAMILIES.
