Here is a clip about how standardized testing affects english as a second language students

After spending the day in a bilingual class I was curious as to how these kids are tested for standardized testing. This clip shows teachers talking about how it is to test students where english is not their primary language.

Please tell me you know more than they do...

Next Friday

Hi Everybody!
Can't wait to hear how you guys in the suburban school made out this morning; I went to the urban school and stayed for so long that I had to get back to the university...let me know how your day went.

On November 9th, we'll hear presentations from Diana & Nicole about after-school programs and extracurricular activities. After that I'll go over the TWS/Contextual Factors paper. And then, as a treat, I think I'll introduce you to digital stories. Adriana opened up a can of worms when she mentioned the article from the last COE newsletter...anyway, it's something I'm sure ALL of you are going to enjoy.

See you soon.

So this is what my life has come to.

So, as I was collecting information about our teaching philosophy this is what happened. I stapled the papers to my sleeve and my loving husband decided to take a picture.

Parking?

I'm going to Harrison tomorrow. So, where do I park? I drove by the school today and I saw a little parking lot on the side. Is it ok to park there? And what did you guys do for lunch breaks? It doesnt look like there were any places to go to.

Question about the MAPP?

So I went to Hennings Room 443, to sign up for the MAPP on December 1st ! Unfortunately not only was the test filled up but so was the waiting list ! Do you think I could just show up on the 1st and try to get in, or should I just wait till it is offered in the spring? I was hoping to apply for the education program in January/February so I don't know what to do!!! Much advice is needed !!!
