Yevette Jensen graduated from @sjcny with her bachelor’s degree in elementary education and is working towards her master’s degree in TESOL at Touro GSE. This September she officially started as a full-time teacher in a 15:1 classroom and is super excited (#shoutout to all new teachers! #youareawesome 🙌🏽 👊🏽 ) Shown here is Yevette’s fieldwork report, based on her observations of an ESL class for 5th grade students - For their #fieldwork report TESOL teacher candidates needed to observe 10 hours in bilingual, ESL or integrated classrooms, and interview the teachers and ELL students to discover a) what strategies were effective, b) what #challenges they faced, and c) their reaction to the lessons. - The 5th grade class Yevette observed were exploring a new reading series that their school just started using. Within this new reading series is a tool called Notice and Note which is something the students can use when reading to help them analyze on a deeper level what they have read, such as Aha moments, Tough Questions, Words of the Wiser, Again and Again, Memory Moment, and Contrasts and Contradictions. To apply this tool, students were reading the novel “The Giver” by Lois Lowry. Yevette was excited because her class was reading it too and she saw this as a great opportunity to see how to include Notice and Note in her class and get some tips and tricks from the teacher she was observing. To meet NYS Common Core Standards when building and then implementing a lesson plan takes knowledge and practice. #success #tesol #ell #esl #teachercandidate #futureteacher #teacher #educator #effectivestrategies #tips #tipsandtricks #tourogse #thegiver @loislowrywriter
