    Observation Questions for ELL/LEP student(s)

    1.What techniques/methods/strategies do you see being used


    with the ELL/LEP student(s)? Are they effective? Why or
    why not? (Either specifically for the ELL student(s) or in
    whole class/small group instruction) 


    Some strategies I observed ELL students use while in the classroom was
    assisted note taking devices such as IPads. These were effective for students in
    stage one because they could use the IPad to help type and translate their notes.

    2.Do you notice any student behaviors that you would consider
    “out of the ordinary”? Please describe in detail. (This
    applies to both the ELL student(s) and other classroom
    students) 


    Some behaviors I continually observed were certain ELL students were to


    nervous or lacked to confidence to speak publicly. They would never answer
    questions out loud or participate in anything that required speaking in class.

    3.What type of interactions do you see between the ELL


    student(s), other classroom students, and the teacher(s)?
    Please describe in detail. 


    ELL students communicate the most with other ELL students (if they
    speak the same language). This is because it is a safety net for them and
    provides them with a form of comfort. They can speak their first
    language and their ELL friends could help them learn the new language.
    4.Identify resources/materials that are being used with the ELL
    student(s). Please describe in detail how the ELL student
    is using them. Do they appear to be effective? Explain. 


    ELL students used the majority same resources that every other student used.
    The only difference was the Ipad and it did seem to be effective because it
    helped the student translate the language.

    5.Does the classroom environment seem to be comfortable for


    the ELL student(s)? Please describe the environment and
    explain how you made your decision. 


    Yes the students seem comfortable and the majority of ELL students sit near
    each other. The students sit in rows.

    6.What’s the “comfort” level of the ELL student(s) in regards


    to the English language? What observations help you
    arrive at your decision? Refer to the Vocabulary
    Performance Indicators. At what level would you place
    the ELL student? How did you decide on that level? 


    The students seem comfortable learning in English as they all have passing
    grades. I came to this conclusion based on the students grades in the class. I
    believe most of the ELL students are level 3 or 4. There is one exception who is
    a level one. I came to this decision based on communicating to the students.

    7.If you feel comfortable enough to ask, ask the cooperating


    teacher (or ESL teacher) what type of
    accomodations/modifications they have to make for the
    ELL student(s). Please describe the types of
    accomodations/modifications that were discussed. Do
    they appear on the checklist? Why/why not do you think
    they are present/not present on the checklist? 

    The accommodations provided to the majority of ELL students was treating them essentially as
    IEP students. They often received modified tests and print out copy of the notes.
