Course Description

The mission of the Dover High School English Department is to challenge students to

think critically and to communicate effectively. A sequence of courses has been

designed to provide all students with a comprehensive four-‐year study of literature

and writing. Activities in vocabulary, research, grammar, and critical reading will be

part of each course. Intensive preparation for the High School Proficiency

Assessment (HSPA), the SAT, and college placement tests will be offered.

English I is a required multiple-‐genre course exposing students to a variety of

writers from various cultures. Specific emphasis is placed upon effective writing,

analytical response to literature, and discussion techniques. Students will be

expected to demonstrate their knowledge of writing through a full array of activities

aimed at developing a clear and cohesive essay. Types of composition required

include descriptive, narrative, expository, persuasive, and journal writing.

The Common Core State Standards serve as the foundation for all curricular work in

the Dover Public School District. The English Language Arts Literacy Frameworks

are used to align learning activities to the CCSS and its indicators. Sample learning

activities support the standards, enhance student learning, and encourage higher

levels of achievement for students. The framework activities also aid the teacher in

providing interdisciplinary connections and technology infusion.

Technology

The Dover Public School District recognizes the use of technology as an integral

component of every student’s education. As the district acknowledges the

importance of providing the student with experiences that model “real life” use of

technology in society and the workplace, student use of technology on a regular

basis in all disciplines and at all grade levels is encouraged and supported.

Technology skills are not taught in isolation, but rather infused into the English

curriculum providing students with authentic interdisciplinary projects that

address the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and the Common Core

State Standards in Language Arts Literacy, technology and other disciplines.

Student achievement and growth are measured using performance-‐based

assessments. In addition to increasing higher-‐order thinking skills and creativity,

these technology-‐infused projects provide students with the opportunity to work in

collaborative settings. The ethical use of technology and on-‐line safety is promoted

in numerous ways and is constantly modeled by the classroom teacher.

Students have ample access to technology via the use of laptop computer carts,

computer labs, and classroom computers and interactive boards. Every student has

an eChalk account, an individual login and a home directory that provides individual

storage space. Students work in a wireless environment with secure Internet

access.

Technology resources used include, but are not limited to:

• Nettrekker – secure educational Internet search engine

• Study Island – provides online standards-‐based instruction, assessment, and

test preparation. Includes assessment for each Language Arts Core Common

Content Standard, and allows for instructor-‐designed and created

In Class Support Program

For Classified Students

Secondary Level

In order to have the teaching/learning process take place in the least restrictive environment, classified students may be placed in this course in accordance with their IEPs. Differentiated instruction, provided by the teacher for the course, and based on the course curriculum, addresses the needs of both general and special education students. In addition, classified students may be assisted by either a special education teacher or a teacher assistant, again in accordance with their IEPs. Together the general education teacher and the special education teacher or teacher assistant insures that accommodations and modifications prescribed in each student’s IEP are implemented in the general education program.

Accommodations for Classified Students (IEP Dependent)

Accommodations are made to more fully engage the Special Education student. Accommodations provide the basis for differentiated instruction/assessment which, in turn, allows the teaching/learning process to take place in the least restrictive environment. Each individual student’s IEP includes specific accommodations which must be provided to meet the child’s special needs. In some cases, accommodations needed by individual classified students can be used on a whole class basis to support all students in the class.

Instructional Accommodations:

• Graphic organizers such as the following: cause/effect, compare/contrast, time order, simple listing, problem/solution, organize by category, concept webs, semantic maps, note taking format organizers, data charts

• Study guides • Think sheets • Laptop computers for note taking, homework, research projects, and

class assignments • Power Point presentations as visual aids (instruction) or alternative

way to demonstrate learning (assessment) • Blackboard games such as “Jeopardy” for review • Interactive white boards to provide visual aid and promote active

student engagement • Preteaching of vocabulary for understanding of concepts • Word search or crossword puzzles for vocabulary reinforcement

Language Arts Literacy

and the

English Language Learner

Since literacy development depends on many interrelated components, English and Language Arts teachers recognize the need to provide effective instruction to all students. In an effort to enhance the learning experience and to improve instruction for ELL students, teachers often use the ten strategies below:

1. Enunciate clearly, but do not raise voice. Add gestures, point directly to objects, or draw pictures when appropriate.

2. Write clearly, legibly, and in print—many ELL students have difficulty reading cursive.

3. Develop and maintain routines. Use clear and consistent signals for classroom instructions.

4. Repeat information and review it frequently. If a student does not understand, try rephrasing or paraphrasing in shorter sentences and simpler syntax. Check often for understanding, but do not ask, “Do you understand?” Instead, have students demonstrate their learning in order to show comprehension.

5. Try to avoid idioms and slang words.

6. Present new information in the context of known information.

7. Announce the lesson’s objectives and activities, and list instructions step-‐by-‐step. Write the objective and homework on the board or provide a written handout.

8. Present information in a variety of ways.

9. Provide frequent summations of the salient points of a lesson, and always emphasize key vocabulary words.

10. Recognize student success overtly and frequently, but also be aware that in some cultures overt, individual praise is considered inappropriate and can therefore be embarrassing or confusing to the student.

Language Arts Literacy

ADAPTATIONS FOR STUDENTS

In addition to the previous strategies mentioned, differentiated instruction, provided by the teacher for the course, and based on the course curriculum, addresses the needs of all students within the class. In the Dover Public School system, teachers encourage authentic and meaningful communication and interaction about course content among students, and between themselves and students. They hold high expectations of their students, challenging them to tackle complex concepts and requiring them to think critically, rather than eliciting preponderance of one-‐word responses to factual questions that do not require higher order thinking. They organize their classrooms to meet the needs of students with diverse talents, voices, intelligences, and learning needs. Based upon grade, class structure, and specific needs, classes operate within the framework of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts Literacy.

Effective instruction follows from choices teachers make about strategies appropriate for learners in the classroom. These choices or adaptations create learning conditions that include a variety of activities, multimodal learning, modeling and guided practice, pacing appropriate to learners’ needs, and groupings that provide timely peer collaboration as well as teacher input and independent work. Such conditions are evident throughout this framework to underscore the varying needs that students have and the varied choices or adaptations that inform effective instruction in any classroom. Adaptations are made in terms of instruction for unique groups of learners: students with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency, and exceptionally able learners. Although the strategies presented here are appropriate for use with all learners at different times, they are typical of instruction in these specific contexts and may be for some students a critical factor in their literacy development.

English classes operate within the framework of the NJCCCS and CCSS for English Language Arts Literacy. In addition, the WIDA (World-‐Class Instructional Design and Assessment) English Language Proficiency Standards are incorporated to insure that ELLs are accessing the academic language necessary for classroom understanding or communication. The WIDA CAN DO descriptors provide a range of expectations for student performance within an ELL’s proficiency level. A variety of accommodations and instructional strategies are used to assist English Language Learners (sensory, graphic, interactive and native language support).
