I enjoyed creating an online resource collection for my teaching partner. I am driven by inquiry and helping others. During my observations and feedback session I took note of things that my teaching partner wanted resources of. I enjoyed creating a collection of effective strategies for Beth to utilize.

    The belief that students need listening and speaking practice with the language before considering reading is no longer true; text-complexity can be integrated at every level. In the past, teachers gave students text at their instructional level and asked basic comprehension questions about text and students gave their opinions or relied on personal experiences to answer questions. ESL teachers also simplified text by breaking down complex sentences into simple sentences and used resources such as word lists to help control the vocabulary and predict the problems students will face when they read or write. Now, teachers must provide regular practice with complex text to challenge students and help them navigate and understand complex text. Instruction will ensure students are answering more text-dependent questions that require more evidence-based comprehension questions and require students to dig deeply in their material to understand the text.

The role of a counsellor is not unlike that of a friend where by it is nurtured by being in each other’s company, talking over everyday issues and sharing feelings.
