    What is, or what do you think will be your biggest challenge when it comes to supporting ELL, IEP, and 504 learners in your online classroom?

    I think the biggest challenge will be keeping track/making sure that all students with IEPs and 504s use their accommodations. Student success in virtual learning is somewhat reliant on them advocating for themeselves. It’s much easier to gauge when a student in having an issue in person than it is virtually.

    I have plenty of students with IEP’s and 504’s. This year, I did not have any ELL or ESL students but I have in the past. I always accommodate my students per their IEP or 504.

    I have noticed a trend over the past 3-4 years of 504 plans being more frequent due to an overall increase in anxiety for this generation of students.

    Students could practice passing the ball while on a google meet or record themselves practicing with a sibling or friend.

    It would be cool if students could record this with their phones and speed it up to make a “time-lapse”

    “Help Make this In-Person Activity Virtual”

    High School students are placed into small groups and given multi-step math problems. One student begins solving the problem (by applying the first step) and then passes the problem to the next student to do the next step. They continue this until the problem(s) are finished.

    At any time if a student in the group thinks a mistake was made, they can speak up to their group members and have a discussion.

    I teach high school students. Every Monday, for every class, I like to have an open discussion by asking the students about their events from the weekend. It’s always surprising who will open up and share about what they did over the weekend. I have noticed that a lot of the students who are usually quiet (don’t volunteer during instruction time or talk to people during alotted homework time) like to share what they did over the weekend. It’s been a great way for students to share their personal lives with both myself and their peers.

    This is awesome! It’s great you are open with your students. I also start day 1 of the school year with an introduction about myself including information about my personal life, why I became a teacher and lots of other things.

    Asking students, “How are you doing today?” is probably the most important question you can ask. Especially when you actually mean it, give them your attention, and listen to their responses. To develop student realtionships they have to know how much you care; this is a great way to show it!

    In the past I have had a “song request” list on my LMS home page. Students are able to click on it and request a song to be playing when they enter the classroom. This has induced friendly conversations with students about our similarities and differences in music taste.

    I changed the image and color to fit our remote learning program. I also changed just a couple words to make it more age appropriate for high school students.

    I created a lesson over “Finding the Area of A Circle.”

    I used video notes, LMS submissions, youtube intro video, and quizizz assignments.

    We use Schoology. I post daily materials (guided notes, notes keys, assignments etc) on our home page each day. The materials are organized by folders for each week of the school year. Each folder contains the classes for that week and all of the materials.

    I think the most challenging part of teaching online is keeping the students engaged. I believe that “chunking” lessons would help with student engagement when learning online. Giving students short lessons with an activity after would help keep them engaged. Additionally, monitoring student progress closely and communicating quickly with students who are falling behind would also aid in keeping students engaged and on-track.
