Bridging: Establishing a link between the students prior knowledge and the
material.
Know your ELL students and their abilities. Ensure you make tasks manageable and
not overly complex or simple. Set high expectations and scaffold and support their
ability to rise to the challenge. Embed as much personal and multicultural education
as you can throughout the material. Use technology whenever possible as long as it
isnt the end, but the means (websites, blogs, videos, projects, etc.) Allow ELs who
need to explain or use Spanish as support to show they truly understand if English is
too limiting. Use structured class activities and routines with clear expectations at
all times.
