There have been different labels in recent history assigned to students who have a language of their own and are in the process of learning English. Some of these labels are English Language Deficient, English L What do you think about these labels? Do you think labels are important? If so, why? (García). In what ways do these labels contribute to or challenge language borders in your own schools of practice? (Guadalupe-Valdez)

Scenario: You have recently been appointed Chief of a municipal police or fire department. One of the reasons you were hired from outside the organization was because of a prolonged breakdown in the relationship between management and employees, and you have been tasked to improve this situation.

Shortly after beginning your position, management and the union will begin negotiating its first collective bargaining agreement.

Metacognitive skills allow students to become aware of their own learning process and choose among various cognitive strategies that will allow them to be self-regulated learners. One such cognitive skill is modeling for students how to effectively problem solve. You will model this cognitive tool by using the IDEAL problem-solving strategy found in Chapter 6.5: Approaches to Teaching Thinking.​

Bobby is a student in your fifth grade class with autism. Bobby is extremely bright and can fully engage in assignments with much independence, except activities that involve group work. In most instances, he has difficulty working with others and tends to get angry when students don’t listen to him. Often times, you find him in the corner of the room pouting.

• Using the IDEAL strategy, develop a possible solution to this problem. Describe your solution and how you employed the IDEAL strategy, clearly listing the five steps.
  
• Reflecting on the IDEAL strategy, did you find the process helpful in solving a particular classroom dilemma? Why or why not? 

Imagine that you have the perfect teaching job (you are teaching the grade level and content that you desire). Describe how you might teach the IDEAL strategy to your own students. Why would doing so be beneficial? What might reasonably go wrong?,

As stated in Chapter 6 of our text, reciprocal teaching is an instructional approach for teaching students cognitive strategies to improve reading comprehension. This model of teaching is based heavily on the social learning theories of Lev Vygotsky and Albert Bandura who emphasize the importance of teacher-student interactions in the learning process. One of the Common Core English Language Arts College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading states the following:

“Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.”

For this discussion:

• Read the Closing in on close reading article about this idea of “close reading” as part of the CCSS initiative. 
• Watch the video Watch & learn: text comprehension and discuss how the students assume responsibility for helping one another learn.
• Finally, explain how reciprocal teaching helps students comprehend what they read more deeply and how it also reflects this idea of “close reading” as described by the Common Core Standard. Which educational psychology theory or theories does reciprocal teaching employ?
