Vocabulary & Language Support

Tools in this section are designed to support academic language development while maintaining grade-level rigor for English learners. (Aligns with Module 1)

Tool: Visual Vocabulary Organizer (Canvas + Google Docs)

🟦 What this is: A reusable visual vocabulary organizer embedded in Canvas to support academic language development through images, definitions, and structured sentence frames.

🟨 What it looks like: Screenshot: Canvas assignment showing embedded Google Docs vocabulary organizer.

🟩 Instructional outcome: This tool allows students to encounter and practice tier‑3 vocabulary before engaging with complex texts or tasks. The consistent structure reduces cognitive load and increases independence.

⬜ Grading & feedback: Assessment is formative and completed in Canvas using a simple checklist. Feedback is provided in SpeedGrader for rapid review.

🟪 Reuse across units: This structure is intentionally reused across units so students focus on content and language rather than learning a new format.

🟧 Platforms used: Canvas, Google Slides

Formative Assessment

Tools in this section provide quick, actionable feedback to guide instruction without increasing grading load. (Aligns with Module 2)

Tool: Game‑Based Formative Review (Blooket + Canvas)

🟦 What this is: Interactive, game‑based review activities aligned to quiz‑level academic language and content.

🟨 What it looks like: Screenshot: Side‑by‑side anonymized Blooket results showing class‑level performance and comparison across periods.

🟩 Instructional outcome: Students engage in self‑assessment and application of academic language, while class‑level data informs targeted review and reteaching.

⬜ Grading & feedback: Used formatively to guide instruction rather than assign grades.

🟪 Reuse across units: The review structure is reused to promote familiarity and efficient feedback cycles.

🟧 Platforms used: Canvas, Blooket (Group and Individual Practice)

Self‑Paced Practice & Mastery Learning

Tools in this section support multilingual learners by allowing flexible pacing, repeated viewing, and adjustable supports that reduce language barriers while maintaining access to grade‑level content. (Aligns with Module 3)

Tool: Self‑Paced Practice & Mastery Learning

🟦 What this is: Self‑paced instructional videos with embedded comprehension checks, requiring students to demonstrate understanding through repeated attempts.

🟨 What it looks like: Canvas view showing Edpuzzle completion status, multiple attempts, and real‑time progress monitoring.

🟩 Instructional outcome: Students engage with content at their own pace (and playback speed), supporting mastery learning and persistence (with unlimited rewatch to understand concepts), particularly for multilingual learners (often, Home Language close caption translations are available).

⬜ Grading & feedback: Scores auto‑sync to Canvas and Infinite Campus, supporting accountability while minimizing grading workload.

🟪 Reuse across units: Edpuzzle is used consistently to support independent learning and mastery.

🟧 Platforms used: Canvas, Edpuzzle

Student Expression

Tools in this section allow students to demonstrate understanding through multiple modes of expression while supporting language development and creativity. (Aligns with Module 4)

Tool: Digital Response Choice Board (Canva + Canvas)

🟦 What this is: A structured choice board paired with scaffolded support materials that allow students to demonstrate understanding through multiple modes of expression.

🟨 What it looks like: Choice board document and interactive workbook used to support independent task completion.

🟩 Instructional outcome: Students access grade‑level content through varied modalities while maintaining shared learning objectives and academic rigor.

⬜ Grading & feedback: Student work is assessed using common criteria focused on content understanding rather than format.

🟪 Reuse across units: Choice‑based structures are reused to promote engagement and consistency.

🟧 Platforms used: Canvas, NotebookLM

AI-Supported Efficiency

Tools in this section focus on using artificial intelligence to reduce teacher workload while maintaining instructional quality, equity, and rigor. (Aligns with Module 5)

Tool: AI‑Guided Canvas Workgroup Implementation (Yellow / Green)

🟦 What this is: AI used as a just‑in‑time professional learning tool to instruct the teacher on how to create and manage instructional workgroups in Canvas.

🟨 What it looks like: Canvas People view showing Yellow and Green workgroups, lesson views with differentiated assignments, and SpeedGrader views aligned to workgroup expectations.

🟩 Instructional outcome: Workgroups enable differentiated instructions, assignments, and grading expectations while holding all students to the same standards‑aligned objectives and academic rigor.

⬜ Grading & feedback: Assignments are graded according to workgroup‑appropriate expected output, supporting equitable assessment without language‑based bias.

🟪 Reuse across units: This workflow is applied as needed across lessons and units to support efficient, differentiated instruction.

🟧 Platforms used: AI assistant, Canvas, Ellevation (Student WIDA Access Data) and NWEA (MAP Data)
