    Learning Outcome Pedagogical Intent Student Position

    Teachers provide support and advocacy for ELLs and their families and prevent their own assumptions from surfacing in their work.

    Assessment: 25 pts.

    Due: Session 3

    Teachers apply their knowledge of assumptions and stereotypes to their practice and instruction as they teach ELs in their classrooms.

    Students have learned about the belief statements and Inclusive Pedagogy.  They will now watch ‘The Danger of a Single Story’ as a way to think about assumptions people make.
