About the Course

Using visuals is an effective, research-based method for teaching English language learners (ELLs) as well as their fellow classmates. Visuals support essential information and put classwork into a context that can make learning more understandable and comprehensible. Visuals can help lower learners' affective filter by relating to personal experiences.

This course is appropriate for all levels of teachers.  Teacher librarians, instructional coaches, and administrators are invited to join us as well.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Establish the why of using visual aids in the classroom for ELLs and all students.
  • Demonstrate how visuals and background knowledge can enhance vocabulary and academic language.
  • Use a variety of formative and summative assessments to scaffold student learning.
  • Implement social-emotional learning strategies to help their students succeed.
  • Define and implement a culturally responsive classroom.
  • Grade(s): Kindergarten 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade Elementary K-5 Secondary 6-12

Reviews

Caitlyn OBrien
I highly recommend this course. The assignments and resources can be used beyond the classroom. I felt challenged, and this course helped me feel confident in my ability to support all students. It also gave me more resources and ideas to support my MLL students even more!
Laura Henry
This was a great class to learn about tools to support multilingual learners. We learned about some amazing resources!
John Collings
This class was very informative, and helped me to create material that I will use in my class. The material is not only great for ELL students, but will help every student get the most out of my lessons.
