ELL Education Personal Statement

696 Words3 Pages

I am interested in education and specifically ELL education as a career because in highschool I took Spanish all the way through the highest level offered at my school, dual-enrollment IB Spanish V. Throughout the time spent learning and working on my language skills I have felt very fortunate to have developed my ability to communicate and interact in Spanish. Additionally, a part of learning and being around the language led me to be able to communicate and interact with Spanish-speaking students at my school, including students in the ELL program and international students. I have been able to have great conversations and experiences with these students in classes, at school social events, and outside of school as well. I have been taught …show more content…

I was originally drawn to Evergreen because of the interdisciplinary nature of the courses of study and the community involvement opportunities that are offered, and while I was able to enjoy those aspects of my courses I was challenged by the lack of structure in certain areas of the courses I participated in. I believe that it takes a certain type of student to thrive in a less structured environment and that someday I may be better adjusted for that style of learning, but at the moment I believe a more structured learning environment is best for achieving my academic goals. I see California Lutheran University as a place that offers interdisciplinary and community opportunities along with a more structured learning environment which is why I see CLU as a great fit for my pursuit of higher education and my career goals. Additionally, many of the courses in my desired path at Evergreen were still only being offered online and I struggled to stay engaged in learning during zoom meetings and online only coursework. I am a student who can thrive in teamwork and when making connections with other students and faculty which is another reason I feel that transferring to CLU would be a step in the right direction to continue my education. I also aspire to earn a spot on the CLU men’s soccer

Brown Vs Board Of Education Case Study

1691 Words | 7 Pages

The struggles ELL students face within the education system may have been a bit different than blatant racism, but the core idea of poor quality assurance is rampant. Florida's own consent decree was created to help ensure the identification and processes for students in need of help with the language to better prepare ELL students for their schooling career. The struggles of course still remain as the students will need to overcome barriers of language in an environment where the teacher may or may not be ESOL endorsed. This of course is the major problem students will face in Florida, to teach in the state a teacher must have an ESOL endorsement within two years of getting their first student of another language (FDOE, 2017, p. 24). While teachers of English or language arts have to have training within their degree, teachers of science, math, social studies, and other secondary classes do not, and are only required to seek the training you once a student classified as an ELL is placed into their class.

Florida Consent Decree Analysis

966 Words | 4 Pages

“The FL Consent Decree provides a structure for compliance with all the jurisprudence ensuring the rights of ELL students in Florida and equality in educational opportunities as afforded to all native-English-speaking students” (20). Non-native English speakers allow a sense of diversity in the classrooms. Diversity drives innovations, and creativity and builds on communities. The reality of community and diversity in a school environment entails that one must keep an open-mind and be willing to cooperate with others- specifically those having difficulty communicating with other students and educators because of the language barrier- and also to expand their insights on a broader scale from others indifferent to themselves rather than what they are used to encountering every day, in order to become more worldly. I completely agree with the programs that LEP students are entitled to in addition to ESOL, as they are provided to ensure equality in educational opportunities.

Elda Personal Statement

Last March, I came to realize that all of my focus was only on school, sports, and work and I didn't take the time to help out my community in enough ways as I should. I wanted to do something that I would enjoy and knew that I loved kids so I decided to email our elementary school principal and see if there was anything I could do to help out in the school. So ever since then, I started going in every Thursday to volunteer with whatever he needed me to do. Sometimes I would work for him, other times for the librarian, secretary, or other teachers.

Ell Personal Statement

517 Words | 3 Pages

Numerous factors have motivated me to want to become a school leader, such as colleagues who are role models in my life, my desire to make a change and to be an advocate for students who may struggle to support themselves. However, one project that I have been involved with that has ignited my desire to become a school leader was becoming the first English Language Learner (ELL) educator in my building in my first year as a full-time teacher. In previous years, my district had struggled with ELLs entering our middle school because we were such a low-incidence district. Due to a lack of enrollment and being on the cusp of the RETELL initiative, we did not have any teachers who were SEI endorsed or prepared to meet the various needs of the incoming ELL students. However, after some time as a long-term substitute English Language Arts educator, my administration asked if I would be interested in pursuing a master’s degree that would align with the needs of the ELL students.

Hispanic Student Achievement Analysis

I simply want to be a teacher that makes a difference in the school. I want to be a positive influence, not only on my students but on other staff in the school as well. This article explained many great points that those six schools stand by in creating a successful environment for their Hispanic students and I, as a teacher leader, want to take those suggestions and use them and create an environment in my future school that is welcoming and accepting to English language learners. I truly believe that every child has great potential, they just need the proper education to be able to reach out and achieve their goals. As an elementary education major, reading about people who are determined to make a positive change in our schools is restorative to my hope for our students’ futures.

The Sociocultural Perspective Of Motivation For ELL Students

660 Words | 3 Pages

The sociocultural perspective on learning motivation is “to maintain their identities and their interpersonal relations with the community” (Woolfolk, 2015, p. 447). ELL students are more likely to be foreclosed than other students, which means that they are less explorative regarding their identities and the range of learning options (p. 97). Those students tend to either just follow what others do or become defensive and intolerant of learning new cultures. Therefore, in order to be committed in their learning of new language and the environment, it is crucial for those students to explore different perspectives and find out what their vision on those cultural issues rather than just memorizing factual time of history or conceptual informations.
