A once-in-a-generation text for assisting a new generation of students
Content teachers and ESOL teachers, take special note: if you’re
looking for a single resource to help your English learners meet the
same challenging content standards as their English-proficient peers,
your search is complete. Just dip into this toolbox of strategies,
examples, templates, and activities from EL authorities Diane Staehr
Fenner and Sydney Snyder. The best part? Unlocking English Learners’
Potential supports teachers across all levels of experience. The
question is not if English learners can succeed in today’s more
rigorous classrooms, but how. Unlocking English Learners’ Potential
is all about the how: How to scaffold ELs’ instruction across
content and grade levels How to promote ELs’ oral language
development and academic language How to help ELs analyze text through
close reading and text-dependent questions How to build ELs’
background knowledge How to design and use formative assessment with
ELs Along the way, you’ll build the collaboration, advocacy, and
leadership skills that we all need if we’re to fully support our
English learners. After all, any one of us with at least one student
acquiring English is now a teacher of ELs. "Schools are not
intentionally equitable places for English learners to achieve, but
they could be if the right system of support were put in place. Diane
Staehr Fenner and Sydney Snyder recommend just such a system. Not only
does it have significant potential for providing fuller access to the
core curriculum, it also provides a path for teachers to travel as
they navigate the individual needs of students and support their
learning journeys." —Douglas Fisher, Coauthor of Visible Learning
