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

Came out of this class with tangible things I could use, and did use right away. Great way to fulfill new state requirements for ELD
Karen Herr
This class was a great addition to my "bag of tricks". It gave me some ideas to use in my daily teaching. The class was laid out in such a way it was easy to follow. Would recommend this class.
Natalie Shute
This class was wonderful! I loved how easy it was to apply the new skills and strategies to my classroom. Colleen was helpful and gave prompt feedback each week.
