Project GLAD Guided Language Acquisition Design , a model of inservice teacher training in which teachers learn to modify instruction to promote acquisition of English as a Second Language, is outlined.
The model uses the whole language approach to language learning. Its development was guided by research in whole language theory; integration of content and language within the curriculum; the role of the first language in learning; the value of culture; second language acquisition; neurological organization and brain hemisphere functions; effective reading and writing instruction; classroom environment; heterogeneous instructional grouping; and language functional environment.
Every 10 years, Dallas ISD participates in redistricting to better ensure appropriate representation based on the shifts in population trends.
If you educate kids, no one can take that away from them. The bond funded the new 81,square-foot replacement school is designed to provide next-generational and interactive learning opportunities. As superintendent, Dr. Estes successfully desegregated the school system and established a comprehensive network of magnet schools, charter schools and early childhood centers.
He is an out-of-district kiddo who they have treated with the utmost importance, and my family is incredibly grateful. Oak Cliff is a wonderful place. Dallas ISD will provide each school with the following safety supplies to support prevention and safety. Details on how we are working to keep our students and schools as safe as possible.
This training was eye-opening because it provided applicable techniques that were shown in real-time teaching. This training also was responsive to students' needs with a wide variety of lessons and through many modalities.
The online GLAD training was thorough and very informative. The video models of strategies being implemented within the classroom were a fantastic part of this great training. As a secondary teacher, it would have been nice to see a couple of examples of a few of the many fantastic techniques implemented at the middle or high school level or even just a quick reference guide after each section that would assist secondary teachers in implementing and tweaking these strategies as necessary.
The training was great and I appreciate the flexibility of being able to start and stop the videos throughout the course as I navigate teaching at home and working with my own kids!
The teacher models each strategy and the students apply the strategy. There are new strategies modeled in each chapter that a teacher could certainly choose one-two to easily implement the next day! Be GLAD has helped me plan to meet and integrate standards. The backwards planning really supported my understanding of how to plan to meet all social studies and science standards and to integrate literacy into it.
It has also made learning more visual for my students. Thank you to Be GLAD for all of the useful strategies for teaching language acquisition in conjunction with our regular curriculum! Thank you again! They're my hammer, screw drivers, and pliers.
They may not necessarily be the exact tool I need for every situation, but they certainly help cover a broad spectrum of needs. This was one of the best trainings I have participated in. Seeing all the ways we can support our English Language Learners was great, but something even better is that these strategies and supports can be used with ALL learners.
Be GLAD Training included specific strategies in academic language acquisition that are useful at all grade levels, including high school science.
I will be using the Strip Paragraphs because they can really help struggling writers and readers in first grade, as it is more hands-on and allows students to move around. I have also utilized signal words and gestures that were used in GLAD videos for vocabulary and high-frequency words. It works perfect for first graders whose attention spans are short.
Thank you. Be GLAD has opened up a whole new world of teaching for me. It just makes sense and helps reach so many learners. I have noticed a difference. Thank you so much for this wonderful training. This is a training that can benefit new teachers as well as experienced teachers. I can see how this type of teaching would take time to implement, but it looks worth it! I was able to squeeze in the time when it was convenient for me.
The demonstrations in the videos were perfect- they helped me to understand how the strategies could work in a classroom setting. Be GLAD is not just another teacher workshop.
I gained real strategies that I can put to use in a real classroom. Be GLAD strategies are great for all students. I used them previously as a dual language elementary school teacher and I now use them with my Spanish students at the secondary level.
They support the development of all four modalities of language and create an interactive learning environment.
Engaging research-based comprehension, reading fluency, and vocabulary strategies were well displayed. The videos provided an explanation followed by a coaching segment with students showing how to apply them in practice. Overall, this was a valuable experience that exposed me to rich practices that will undoubtedly lead my students to much success. I thoroughly enjoyed the online GLAD training.
