Week 1 readings

Diverse learners need support to participate fully in the learning community. Some types of support are from parents, extra instruction, extra help, patience from the teacher, and a conducive environment for the student.Good teaching for ELLs can be good for everyone when lessons can be taught from the ELLs percpective. One example used in the readings was using AAVE (African American Vernacular English.) The language structures were compared by the teacher as formal and invormal but the integrity of the AAVE was still kept by the teacher.A teacher can learn about their students from multiple perspectives. Some of these are to ask parents, talk directly to students, assessment, and observation.
