ASCC BEP Standards The American Samoa Bachelor in Education Program (ASBEP) requires student teachers to reflect on certain standards provided, which guided them throughout their journey of being a student teacher (ST). The ASBEP standards exist to guide the student teacher to have a set of skills and goals for all students: Competence in content area(s); competence in the Samoan language, history, and culture; technology; and diversity. However, the usage of ASBEP standards in the classroom showed improvement for both the student teacher and students in the classroom. Being competence in the assigned content area was very challenging, especially when it’s your worse content area. The ST was having a very hard time teaching the assigned …show more content…

Being confidence in teaching science was the main goal for the student teacher. In order for him to achieve his goal, he used content areas that are fun for him and the students. The ST also used bilingual because he’s not comfortable in using English only. To build the ST’s confidence is to do what makes him comfortable in teaching Science. With that being said, using bilingual is not only to build the ST’s confidence, but it also helped a lot of students to learn better. During the ST’s solo, majority of students asked to translate a lot of words from the lessons into Samoan. In the end, a lot of students mastered the objectives for each lessons because they understand it better when bilingual is used for instruction.

The school year 2016/2017 was the first full time year since around 2006. In my classes I have monolingual English students, but also students with simultaneous and sequential bilingualism. In my opinion, as a teacher who builds the program from the scratch, I do believe two main factors are here essential: student’s language portfolio, and emphasize on SEL. Portfolio in all German classes is a holistic way to measure and support students’ progress, proficiency level, their reflection on learning, and their Social Emotional Learning. Portfolio has two main goals: Portfolio – after chapter where students can reflect on their work and discuss the chapter’s theme in L2.

Incorporating these visual elements into the classroom is a great way for teachers to ensure that learning is happing all the time. Another really great tool that teachers can use to help students, is by incorporating the student's first language into the classroom. Having students who are able to see elements of their first language in the classrooms acts as a vessel for students to better pick up the language that they are trying to learn. As expressed in the article POWERFUL LEARNING TOOLS FOR ELLs written by Yu Ren Dong, he explains that “ELLs come into science class with prior learning, native languages, cultural and life experiences. Despite the fact that their prior knowledge is acquired and expressed in their native language and may be different from what the science teacher expects, it is a powerful learning tool”

However, I think the standards and tests to not necessarily evaluate higher-order thinking. The tests seem to ask “right there” questions. I also think that there is the likelihood of watering down information to help the struggling students but if you set the standards too high, it will cause frequent failure for the struggling learners. I can only imagine how difficult is it to include every content area when lesson planning because teachers know what is going to be on the standardized test. They know that math and reading scores are the scores that are going

Growing up in a Spanish speaking household, I was an ELL student when I was in elementary school. My mom only speaks Spanish, and my dad speaks both English and Spanish, but his fluency in English came many years later. My first language was Spanish, but I learned English soon after I learned Spanish. As a result, I clearly remember having to take the CELDT test, which is a test that is given to any student who do not speak English at home, and is used to measure the students proficiency in English. Science is a unique subject in and of itself, because the real challenge arises when science teachers aim to my make the science content comprehensible.

The notion of bilingualism is frequently connected to the idea of code-switching since a person should have ability to speak using two or more than one variety. Researchers have made countless studies describing bilingualism as they create awareness in different ways. To begin with is Bloomfield (1933) who defined bilingualism as having the “native- like control of two languages”.
