ELL BOT Report 2017
Support for ELL students in 2017 has been targeted to monitored students and new entrants whose English language skills need strengthening to enable them to function socially and to access the curriculum. ELL support is very specific and is given in consultation with the student’s teacher after needs have been identified through observation and assessments. There is an emphasis on vocabulary, modelling of concepts and lots of discussion.  The school wide assessment system and astute teacher observation has proven to be very effective in identifying needs. While most support is given by class teachers, teacher aides, working under the direction of the student’s teacher, also work with small groups or occasionally one to one with a student, depending on the need.  The ELL Co-ordinator advises and through staff meetings is developing teacher capability in working with ELLS. In 2017 school-wide assessments identified a need among Pasifika ELLS to raise mathematical skills, focusing on place value, fractions and multiplication. Children were grouped according to their levels and taught within these areas for two half hour sessions per week in Term 3 with the aim of raising levels by one stage. Mathematics PLD, targeted at teachers of Pasifika children, was also given across our COL by Mathematics Advisor, Shona Macrae. Within a very small cohort, frequent or prolonged absences have affected learning and this is being followed up through parent education and meetings.
