I have some concerns about the effectiveness of the presentation. It seemed to be more of a distraction for the adults in attendance, which wasn’t aligned with the purpose of the training. The presenter spoke in a monotone voice throughout, at a very slow pace, and frequently used hand gestures, which took away from the content. I believe a short video demonstrating how to model teaching strategies for ELL students would have been more engaging and effective.

There are many learning strategies that teachers can use in the classroom, including:
Active learning
Strategies such as reciprocal questioning, the pause procedure, and muddiest point can help students actively participate in the learning process.

I believe that English Language Proficiency Standards are essential in ensuring that all students, especially English language learners (ELLs), receive the support they need to succeed academically. These standards provide a clear framework for what students should know and be able to do in English across different content areas, which is crucial for their overall academic progress and integration into the school community. By aligning instruction with these standards, educators can better address the diverse needs of ELLs, helping them build language skills that are critical not only for their academic success but also for their future opportunities. It’s important that we consistently implement and refine these standards to ensure they are relevant, inclusive, and effective in meeting the needs of all students. Incorporating English Language Proficiency Standards into our teaching practices promotes equity and ensures that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

I liked that the presenter spoke slowly so that we had time to think about what she said; however, too much information was given. The math-teacher video was much longer than needed. There should be a separate training for preschool teachers.
