New English Language Learner Math Students

Your ELL math students are doing awesome! But happens when you are blessed with a new ELL student who enrolls in the middle of the school year? He or she is a non-English speaker and is not on-level academically.

1. Assess their English Language Skills
2. Assess their English and Spanish Reading Skills
3. Assess their Math Skills
4. Assign both a boy and girl buddy/peer system to assist them in daily school routines
5. Apply the 15/30 small group or one-on-one intervention strategy. Teacher teaches students in a small or one-on-one setting in the area most needed: Monday: 15 min., Tuesday: 30 min., Wednesday: 15 min., Thursday: 30 min., Friday: 15 min.
6. Prepare and send a Take-Home Folder to practice specific math skills
7. Monitor as student and buddy peer system go over short and specific math skills. (10 minutes)
8. Teacher communicates progress with parents once a week.

You will begin to see the student flourish because of the support provided by you, the teacher, peers, and parents.
