1. I have a specific question about a specific student. Can I talk to someone in English Language Support Programs?
2. What are a few quick tips I can use right away for supporting the multilingual students I have now?
- Allow for extra time on timed tests
- Use these (linked) ideas on responding to errors in students’ writing
- Pause a few times during class time to give all students a chance to write notes, summarize the last topic, come up with a question, etc.
- Allow revisions for a higher grade or even a replacement grade. Focus on content improvement.
