Part of an asset-based approach to working with ELs is recognizing the cultural and linguistic resources they possess. The asset-based approach contrasts with the deficit-based model that once dominated how many viewed English learners. As educators, we can help close the inequity gap faced by our diverse student population by exhibiting asset-based behaviors and expectations, focusing on viewing cultural and linguistic differences as assets and not deficits. Imagine your school district is producing a series of videos interviewing educators on various topics to support professional learning for teachers and staff. As part of the video series, you have been asked to participate by answering questions on leveraging English learner assets and building home and school connections. Provide a script that answers each of the following sets of questions: Culturally Responsive Teaching What are cultural influences on teaching and learning? What is cultural competence and its role in the instruction of ELs? How can ELs’ cultural values and beliefs be integrated appropriately in the context of teaching and learning? What is the role of culture in student learning? How do school and classroom environments influence language acquisition and what steps are necessary to create an inclusive environment? What are some strategies for supporting and celebrating cultural diversity within instruction? What are some strategies for leveraging home language and cultural assets? Supporting the Needs of ELs in the Classroom What are some strategies for responsiveness to the different strengths, needs, and identities of all EL students, including special needs? What are some opportunities and approaches to meet the social and emotional needs of ELs? What is the importance of understanding the social, emotional, and cultural needs of students when establishing classroom routines and procedures? Home and School Connections How might family and community practices (funds of knowledge) influence language learning? What are some strategies to build and foster strong family, community, and school partnerships? What are effective family engagement practices that support and highlight the assets of home languages, including communication, family involvement, and providing intentional strategies for families of ELs? What are some inclusive community engagement practices? Support your script with a minimum of two scholarly resources.
