Parks' ELL Connections
IDEAS, STRATEGIES, TIPS FOR YOUR ELL CLASSROOM February 2016
February is here and so is TELPAS!
Writing Collection Window February 16th-March 4th
For all campus raters there will be a time frame check sheet for you to place your writing samples in a folder near your classroom entry. Weekly I will check the sample and make notes of any corrections that may be needed for the collections. The check sheet as pictured on the right denotes Fridays are the due dates, if you need more time please let me know. Please feel free to work ahead of the timeline.
*Remember the writing prompts are to be assigned as a whole class assignment, while only the ESL students samples are collected for rating. For no reason should these students feel they are being isolated or punished.
I have sent invitations for the TELPAS tutorials for all the campuses and I will be collaborating with the campus testing coordinators to administer the TELPAS online reading test.
By the end of this week you will receive your TELPAS writing collection folders and check sheets.
Beginning Feb. 15th monitored calibrations will take place on the campuses, which I will be participating in along side you all. The campus testing coordinators will monitor those sessions.
Angela will act as a hall monitor in most of the testing situations, but she will not be collaborating or participating in rating students, since this must be done by certified teachers of record.
