This module contains 3 units to support both pre-service and in-service educators in teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students in the classroom. There are a variety of formats and modalities to present this information. Each unit includes videos, recorded lectures, PowerPoints, guided notes, and research articles to present a wholistic view of the content. The learning is scaffolded by offering application-based activities to allow learners to practice and internalize the content from the first section, and then in the assessment section, the learning is evaluated in a variety of ways that support the learning objectives. There are many supports for both the learner and the student in these units.

The final paper assignment asks students to use what they have learned about historical events as part of global processes in a course on the Global African Diaspora. It asks students to explain the historical conditions that may have led people from an African country to move to the United States, as well as any economic and cultural reasons. It asks students to describe the nature of the informal and formal economies in which African immigrants participate. And finally to explain the challenges (legal, financial, cultural, etc.) that African immigrants face and the ways in which they deal with those challenges.

These lectures and assignments step ESL students through the process of learning sentence variety which is the key to writing that is both correct, mature, and interesting. Beginning with simple sentences as the foundation allows all students to add more sentence types to their writing in an organized way.This module can be combined with the others uploaded in this folder about reading, grammar, and writing activities to create an entire OER based ESL class for this level.  

Teaching Strategies is also developing free resources through Ready Rosie™ that will include interviews with experts on how families can stay healthy and safe, how to support children’s emotional well-being during the pandemic, and some fun activities families can do at home that support learning and overall well-being.  More information on these resources will be shared with you this week.

This resource provides course materials associated with the Northern California Training Academy's "Teaming: Leading Family Meetings" course.

The curriculum shared here utilizes Terra Nostra, a multimedia symphony about climate change. Variations of the curriculum were developed by Kim Davenport for use in several 100-, 200- and 300-level non-major music courses at the University of Washington, Tacoma. More than 50% of UWT undergraduate students are the first in their family to attend college, and nearly 60% are students of color.Depending on the exact level and subject-matter of each course, Terra Nostra was utilized in support of a variety of learning objectives:Building students’ listening skills, through the combination of music and video, and through the analysis of music without wordsDrawing interdisciplinary connections between music and other disciplinesProviding an example of music created to raise awareness about a timely social issueAlthough the assignments shared here were designed for music courses, they could easily be adapted for inclusion in courses in other disciplines, and this is indeed one of the motivations for sharing this curriculum through a Creative Commons license.
