Next year, you will be teaching in a school where the vast
majority of students did not meet standard on your state's criterion-referenced
test and where more than 75% of the students are eligible for free and
reduced-price meals. What are some specific universal literacy strategies you
may implement to ensure students success? Include both in-class examples and
things you could do outside the classroom
I teach at a title 1 school where 86 % of our school
receives free lunch. Although we have met AYP on our test scores for thirteen
years in a row, I can still relate to this instructional challenge. First thing
to realize is the lack of access to technology, books, or any other necessary
items needed in some classes today. Keeping an open communication with eh
parents is very important. To ensure student success in my classroom, I let
them checkout books from my own personal library and bring them back to me. I
have rewards and positive incentives for the ones who meet their goals or bring
back papers signed.
I would make sure the students are building connections with
me, but also their peers. I would have different lesson that would boost their
confidence level. I have classroom jobs that allows them to be the leader and
create responsibility. Building on their back ground knowledge and knowing
where they have been in crucial for a teacher to do in this type of
environment.
