Defining Culturally & Linguis/cally Responsive Teaching & Learning
4
Involves the use of cultural knowledge, prior experiences, frames of reference, and performance styles of ethnically diverse students to make learning encounters more relevant to, and effec/ve for them.
Teaches to and through the strengths of these students and is culturally valida/ng and affirming.
Means going to where students are culturally and linguis/cally with the aim of bringing them where they need to be academically. (Gay, 2000)

School-‐Wide Systems for Student Success: A Mul/-‐Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
Most students
Some students
Few students
6
What is MTSS?
Goal = all students successful at Tier 1
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
> Tier = > Need = > Support
Building a Con/nuum of Support for All Students
Students mee2ng grade level expecta2ons need core curriculum with differen2a2on
Students who are at-‐risk need MORE support
Students with the highest level of need receive the MOST support
7
High Quality, Research-‐Based Curricula, Instruc/on &
Interven/on
8
Standards of Research-‐Based
Teaching strategies or methods that have been proven to be effec/ve in children learning specific skills
9
What are High Quality, Research-‐Based Curricula, Instruc/on & Interven/on?
• How we teach Instruc2on
• What is being taught Curriculum
• Where it is taught Environment
• Who is being taught Learner
10
“Learning problems result from a complex
interac/on [among] several factors:
Curriculum, Instruc/on, the Environment and
Learner characteris/cs.” (Kenneth Howell, 1993)
Instruc2on
Environment
Learner
Curriculum
ICEL
We are not just looking at the student, but rather what is taught, how it is taught, etc.
11
Reflec2on & Applica2on
• On a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest), how would you rate your district’s/school’s level of implementa2on of a mul2-‐2ered system for ALL students, including research-‐based curricula, instruc2on, and interven2ons?
• What is one big idea or “burning” ques2on that rises to the top for you when it comes to MTSS?
12
Considera/ons for ELs
13
Curricular Considera/ons for ELs
• Linguis2cally & Culturally Responsive?
• Across developmental spectrum of language acquisi2on & academic achievement?
• Did research include significant # of ELs?
• Were results disaggregated for subgroups? OR
• Does district have local data?
• Na2onal Reading Panel and
• Na2onal Literacy Panel on Language Minority Children & Youth
• IL College and Career-‐Ready Standards
• WIDA ELD & SLA/SLD Standards
Aligned with state-‐
adopted standards
Aligned with reading research
Appropriate for ELs
Normed and validated for
ELs
14
Instruc/on & Interven/ons: Considera7ons for ELs
Effec2veness with similar ELs
supported by peer-‐reviewed research and/or state/regional/ locally-‐obtained
data
Delivered by personnel
qualified in subject mager PLUS those
qualified in instruc2on of ELs
Instruc2on & interven2on in
L1 & L2 For Simultaneous & Sequen2al Bilingual
Learners

Implementa/on Integrity (Fidelity) of Curricula, Instruc/on & Interven/ons: Considera7ons for ELs
Congruence with EL pedagogy
Adequate opportunity to
learn
Differen2a2on for ELD levels
Classroom environment
conducive to ELs’ learning
16
Reflec2on & Applica2on
• Who is currently involved in suppor2ng your district’s/school’s implementa2on of the curricular, instruc2onal, and interven2on considera2ons for ELs that we just discussed?
• Who else should be involved and what next steps might you take to get them involved?
17
Assessment to Determine Student Needs,
Progress & Outcomes
18
Assessment for Different Purposes
Screen to iden2fy students in need of addi2onal supports
Monitor and evaluate how students are responding to instruc2on/interven2on
Iden2fy student strengths and
weakness of skills 19
Context for Data Collec/on & Analysis
• Learning environment • Personal/family background • Previous schooling • Oral language & literacy in L1 & L2
• Cross-‐cultural factors
Collect & analyze data on areas impac2ng
ELs’ learning
20
Considera/ons for Assessment of EL Student Progress & Outcomes
Focus on closing gap between target student & “like peers”
Assessment in L1 to degree appropriate or possible & in L2
For state assessment data, include results from ACCESS for ELLs®
Consider typical rate of English language acquisi2on & factors impac2ng progress
Data: Valid & reliable for ELs; cau2ons in applying norma2ve data
21
Implica/ons of Language Development & Cultural Factors
Mul2ple factors impact progress in L2 acquisi2on
Consider simultaneous & sequen2al bilingual development -‐ Mixed proficiency Disability manifests across languages &
contexts Consider where student is in U.S.
accultura2on experience
22
Reflec2on & Applica2on
• On a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest), to what extent do you think your district’s/school’s current assessment process addresses the factors and considera2ons for ELs that we just discussed?
• What next steps might you take to improve this process?
