Introducing
a classroom resource every teacher should have
John Ade, Marketing Manager
How many times
have you wished you could clone yourself so that you could help all
your content-area colleagues address the needs of English learners in
their classrooms? Well, until science fiction becomes reality, Pearson
Longman has a much more practical solution. It's called Every Teacher’s Toolkit, a classroom resource that no Math,
Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts teacher in grades 6-12
should be without.
Every
Teacher’s Toolkit is a uniquely easy-to-use resource that
is designed to fit seamlessly alongside existing classroom materials,
helping English learners improve their English language proficiency
while achieving content-area objectives. Every Teacher’s Toolkit accelerates language acquisition and
content-area skills mastery, focusing on skills that are especially
challenging for English learners, and provides lessons and learning
tools to help ELL succeed across the curriculum.
Incorporating
the latest ELL research and best practices, the lessons and activities
in the Toolkit present a variety of beneficial teaching
and learning strategies. Teachers will find that many of the strategies
in the Toolkit are not just for ELLs—they can be
used to enhance the English skills of all students.
With Every Teacher’s Toolkit, even those teachers with little or no
expertise in English language acquisition will be able to provide the
kind of support their English learners need, without sacrificing content-area objectives. And
at only $39.99, the Toolkit is an extremely affordable professional
development solution that has the added benefit of being immediately
applicable to all grade 6-12 teachers.
Each flexible,
customizable lesson in the Toolkit includes:
- A clear
explanation of English language proficiency goals, focusing on areas
where English learners in content-area classes typically have
difficulties
- Methods for
clarifying skills and strategies with definitions and examples
- Step-by-step
mini-lessons to meet the needs of Math, Science, Social Studies, and
Language Arts classrooms
- Blackline
masters that support instruction and provide additional practice
- Scaffolded and
differentiated instruction that accommodate English proficiencies from
Newcomers to Advanced.
