The goal of this project is more than creating 鈥渏ust another bilingual library.鈥 The goal of this project is to create a bilingual library for students to have access to reading material that will help them increase the reading fluency in English while continuing to practice their native language. In addition, families will have access to the bilingual library for them to access the materials to practice at home - will model that will be transferable to similar contexts across the central valley. The books will be used during the ELD time of the classroom (e.g. Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading comprehension). Portfolios include information, sample work, and evaluations that serve as indicators for student performance. By documenting student performance over time, portfolios are a better way to crosscheck student progress than just one measure alone. Portfolios can include: Samples of written student work, such as stories, completed forms, exercise sheets, and descriptions. Drawings representing student content knowledge and proficiency.Tapes of oral work, such as role-playing, presentations, or an oral account of a trip.Teacher descriptions of student accomplishments, such as performance on oral tasks. Formal test data checklists, and rating sheets. In addition, students are going to be scaffold assess. Scaffolding assessments allow ELLs to demonstrate their content knowledge through exhibits or projects, drawings, and graphic organizers. Consider giving ELLs extra time to complete these tasks, or to give short responses. Differentiated scoring scores content knowledge separately from language proficiency. To score content knowledge, look at how well ELLs understand key concepts, how accurate their responses are, and how well they demonstrate the processes they use to come up with responses.
