Abstract:
Given emerging trends in where, why, how, and to what end English language teachers are being prepared, we argue that greater attention to the design, enactment, and consequences of language teacher education (LTE) pedagogy is critical in order to meet the needs of current and future English language teachers in an increasingly diverse, mobile, unequal, and globalized world. Through our experiences and conviction as researchers and teacher educators, we position a Vygotskian sociocultural theoretical perspective as foundational to informing and transforming LTE pedagogy. In this essay, we offer eight interrelated propositions that we believe constitute LTE pedagogy as a central domain for the knowledge-base of LTE.

Abstract:
The debate on the knowledge base for teacher education (TE) in general and language teacher education in particularhas been going on for while with no unanimity on what it should entail. In this paper, I review literature on the issueof the knowledge base, specifically on language teacher education (LTE). The key question guiding this review is:What is the conceptual foundation of the knowledge base for LTE? This suggests that the debate needs to considerpedagogical reasoning as a core pillar of the knowledge base for LTE. At the centre of the concept of pedagogicalreasoning is the need for language teachers to understand the relationships between principles and procedures oflanguage teaching. While this paper focuses on English language, I believe that the issues raised are relevant to anyother second language teaching contexts since the concept of pedagogical reasoning as a basis of the knowledge basefor LTE is not limited to English Language (EL) Contexts.

Abstract:
This volume is a valuable contribution to the field of language teacher education (LTE) because of its innovative approach to language learning and teaching as well as its consistent organization. As noted in the introduction, the book is intended for language teachers “who will make, or have made, the step from teaching to training” (p. 1). To this end, the author relates the teachers' experience and understanding of the classroom context to a broadly social constructivist perspective, based on the relevance of the personal and social dimensions of learning to teach.

Abstract:
Literature in Language Teacher Education (LTE) has highlighted that teaching of grammar should be included as a foundational framework for all language teaching. This indicates that teacher trainees need to be trained with a firm foundation for grammar teaching in language classrooms. Thus, an investigation on how teacher trainees taught grammar and the pattern of their grammar instruction can provide insights to teacher trainees and teacher educators on grammar teaching methodology practised in language classrooms. By understanding how teacher trainees present grammar in their classrooms and what patterns emerged from their grammar instruction can lead to ongoing process of searching for better grammar teaching in language classrooms. This article shares the findings on an investigation conducted on how and what was practised by teacher trainees in their grammar instruction. Two prevalent patterns were discovered. Transmission technique which is teacher fronted and interaction technique which is teacher-student-teacher fronted were commonly practised by the trainees. However, the teacher-fronted technique dominates the interaction technique. This signals that teacher educators need to promote more interactive techniques in the LTE programme so that trainees are trained to teach grammar by utilising more interactive techniques such as questioning (to use more convergent and divergent questions instead of literal questions) and giving corrective feedback (to elicit and recast instead of repeating) which promote two-way grammar teaching.

Abstract:
This paper describes a half-year in-service Language Teacher Education (LTE) program, targeting the trainee teachers who work in Chinese private English institutes. This is to better prepare them at the outset of their career. Primarily intending to build the trainee teachers’ professionalism and raise their awareness, an overall illustration of adopted training courses and choice of activities are introduced in this paper. Focusing on integrating instructional knowledge from ESL and English language teaching, the LTE program schedule will allow majority of readers to implement during their daily teaching and research activities. Principles underpinning this program design are illustrated one by one. A course like this may not foster all teachers to become professionals at once, but to be a reflective practitioner can be a reachable goal, as accumulation of professional expertise is based on teachers’ capability of understanding how to reflect on teaching.

Abstract:
While teacher-as-methodology-researcher paradigm in the area of methodology is quite firmly established, teacher-as-language-researcher is less common, especially in teacher training programmes. Much less emphasis is placed on equipping teachers (especially non-natives) with skills of language analysis, hypothesis posing, data retrieval and analysis. The use of ready-made language corpora in preparing classroom data and creating materials is still inadequately covered in teacher training programmes, let alone putting future teachers in the shoes of linguistic researchers observing the changing face of English. The purpose of this paper is to present a case for promoting teacher-as-language-researcher attitudes in the graduate teacher training programme. A case study is presented, in which student teachers were gradually introduced into New Englishes, through existing corpora, text retrieval and compilation, and — finally — do-it-yourself concordancing. The data from questionnaires and teacher diaries will illuminate upon the viability of self-made corpus compilations as a part of 21st century digital literacy.

Abstract:
Much has been written about teacher thinking and knowledge that underpin teacher behaviour in the classroom. Until the 1990s considerably fewer writers considered the moral and ethical dimension of teaching. This article reports on a study that analysed six Languages Other Than English (LOTE) teachers' reports about their teaching. Under the broad category of caring as a moral dimension of teaching, three major moral/ethical concerns were identified: (1) the concern that everyone has a worth, (2) the concern that students should not hurt each other's feelings, and (3) the concern that students should learn to tolerate differences. These concerns enveloped the teachers' stated goals of LOTE teaching and framed their behaviours in the classroom. While the results can only be related to these six LOTE teachers, this study, nevertheless, raises an interesting question of whether teachers of other subjects manifest the moral dimension of their teaching in ways different from those reported here.

Abstract:
In the last three decades there have been policy changes in Australia which have seen languages other then English change from being a problem for non-English-speaking migrants to become a national asset in an increasingly global and interdependent world and worthy, therefore, of inclusion in the core educational program for all children. In Queensland this led, in 1991, to the LOTE Initiative which introduced the Years 6 to 8 core program, thus considerably expanding the teaching of languages, particularly Asian languages. The changing emphasis on languages is related to changing expectations in terms of proficiency outcomes and the need for more active, learner engagement with the language to achieve these. The decision to extend the core program to seven years and to adopt a task-based approach using content from other areas of the core curriculum is in response to these demands for experience of language in use leading to improved proficiency outcomes. The form a curriculum takes in classrooms depends very much on the beliefs, assumptions and knowledge of the teachers involved as they interpret policy directives and adopt or adapt these in the light of their reading of the context. Syllabus directives are thus but one part of the teaching context and their interpretation influences and is influenced by the teaching culture. The present study involved two stages. The first was a survey of teachers across Queensland exploring their perspectives on the goals and outcomes of the current program, teacher proficiency, use of the target language, the status of languages in the curriculum, and issues such as time allocations, compulsion, current resources and guidelines and continuity between different parts of the program. Phase 2 then involved five focus group discussions in which participants were invited to explore some of these issues in greater depth. Analysis of the data suggests that the context of language teaching in Queensland is a complex, moving mosaic with teachers espousing a range of positions with regard to the goals of the program, the desirability of using the target language as the main medium of instruction and, indeed, whether languages should be part of the core program, particularly at the secondary level. Responses were influenced by a number of factors, including the language taught, school affiliation (primary or secondary), the teachers’ own proficiency, and their proficiency orientation. There was evidence, for example, that a somewhat distinctive primary LOTE culture is developing with respondents making different assumptions about the role and purpose of LOTE in the primary curriculum and the proficiency level required by teachers at that level. Continuity is becoming an issue of access not just to the same language in Year 8 but also to a teaching approach which recognises and builds on prior learning. Responses suggest also that the move to a task-based syllabus in which teachers and students engage in meaningful interaction in the target language will require a considerable change in approach as the majority of teachers report using English as the main medium of instruction at all levels of schooling except Years 11 and 12. The use of an analytic approach to curriculum design will also need to be addressed in professional development associated with the new syllabuses as it is rather different from the traditional communicative approach with which teachers in Queensland are familiar and which tends to have all students learning the same structures at the same time. The core program has resulted in mixed-level classes which make this problematic but respondents did not see the proposed changes as providing possible solutions to the problems faced in these classes. The fate of educational reform such as the inclusion of LOTE as a key learning area depends very much on how it is interpreted by those making sense of it. This negotiation of meaning is influenced by the context in which it occurs and by the beliefs, assumptions and knowledge of those engaged in the process. This study suggests the new syllabus will challenge many existing practices and that there may be very different patterns of response in that teachers’ perceptions of their task are influenced by a range of factors including school affiliation and sector, language, personal proficiency, experience in the target culture, age and teaching experience and even whether or not they are teaching their LOTE full-time or are also involved in another teaching area.

This study, qualitative in nature and grounded theory in approach, aims at investigating the concept of teacher knowledge in the area of English language teacher education in the writings of three Brazilian applied linguists with a view to conceptualizing it. Data collection and analysis, based on grounded theory strategies, consist of theoretical and empirical studies on English language teacher education produced between the beginning of 1990 and 2000 by José Carlos Paes de Almeida Filho, Luiz Paulo da Moita Lopes, and João Antonio Telles. The analysis of the ideas of these three Brazilian applied linguists on the education of the English language teacher unveiled that they suggest to adopt (1) the knowledge construction paradigm for professional education, (2) the applied-science reflective model or the craft-reflective model for teacher education, and (3) research of ethnographic nature to approach teachers# reflective practices. In addition, they view teacher knowledge (a) as a cognitive construction, (b) as a social-cognitive construction, and (c) as an experiential construction. As a cognitive construction, teacher knowledge focuses on the development of teachers# competences; as a social-cognitive construction, on teachers# awareness on how discourse works in the social construction of meanings; and as an experiential construction, on teachers# awareness on their personal practical knowledge. The present study suggests that the three applied linguists# views of paradigms of professional education, models of teacher education, approaches to reflective practices, and views of teacher knowledge are related to the way they view how the relation between the teacher and knowledge is constructed. Since that view varies, the present study suggests that teacher knowledge will tend to be a multi-nature concept. In addition, this study points out, on the one hand, a possible fragmented view of the concept of teacher knowledge and of the education of the English language teacher. On the other hand, it acknowledges that the paradigms, models, approaches and views of teacher knowledge suggested by the three applied linguists reflect the development of scientific investigation throughout the history of mankind. Finally, the present study suggests widening the theme studied here, including not only the ideas of other Brazilian applied linguists, but also their empirical studies to get a more precise view of the concept of teacher knowledge in the area of English language teacher education in Brazil.
Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa e embasado na teoria fundamentada, visa investigar o conceito the conhecimento docente nos escritos de três linguistas aplicados brasileiros, com o objetivo de conceituá-lo. Os dados, estudos teóricos e empíricos sobre a formação de professor de inglês, produzidos entre o início de 1990 e de 2000 por José Carlos Paes de Almeida Filho, Luiz Paulo da Moita Lopes e João Antonio Telles, foram coletados e analisados com base nas estratégias da teoria fundamentada. A análise das idéias dos três linguistas aplicados brasileiros sobre a formação de professor de língua inglesa revelou que eles sugerem adotar (1) o paradigma de construção de conhecimento para a formação profissional, (2) o modelo reflexivo de ciência aplicada ou o modelo reflexivo experencial para a formação de professores, e (3) a pesquisa de base etnográfica para a abordagem de práticas reflexivas. Adicionalmente, eles vêem o conhecimento docente como (a) uma construção cognitiva, (b) como uma construção cognitiva-social, e (c) como uma construção experencial. Como uma construção cognitiva, o conhecimento docente está centrado no desenvolvimento de competências; como uma construção cognitiva-social, nas práticas discursivas; e como uma construção experencial, no conhecimento prático pessoal do professor. O presente estudo sugere que as concepções dos linguistas aplicados sobre paradigmas de formação profissional, modelos de formação de professores, abordagens de práticas reflexivas e concepções de conhecimento docente estão relacionadas a sua visão de como a relação entre o professor e o conhecimento docente é construída. Tendo em vista que os três linguistas aplicados têm visões diferentes de como esta relação é construída, este estudo sugere que o conhecimento docente tenderá a ser um conceito de naturezas múltiplas. Este estudo também alerta para uma possível visão fragmentada do conceito de conhecimento docente e da formação de professor de língua inglesa. Entretanto, ele também reconhece que os paradigmas, modelos, abordagens e concepções de conhecimento docente refletem o desenvolvimento de investigações científicas ao longo da história da humanidade. Por fim, o presente estudo sugere ampliar o tema aqui investigado, incluindo não somente as idéias de outros linguistas aplicados brasileiros, mas também seus estudos empíricos a fim de que uma visão mais precisa do conhecimento docente na área de formação de professor de língua inglesa possa ser delineada no Brasil.

Abstract:
This study explores a basic paradox. On the one hand, innovations thatappear in the field of language teaching - or indeed any other field ofendeavour - in order to be maximally effective, need in some way to beincorporated into the contexts of their application. However, such contextsare often unfavourable to the reception of new ideas which consequentlyneed to undergo some measure of adjustment prior to theirimplementation in the classroom. As such those ideas are seldomrealisable in their 'true colours'. Furthermore, they are at timesthemselves not very clear even within their own terms, and may suffer tovarying degrees from vagueness, diffusion and instances of contradiction. What I seek to do in the chapters that follow is investigate Communicative Language Teaching in order to (i) establish what the basictenets of the approach are, and (ii) identify those factors that affect the wayin which communicative principles could be made acceptable andeffective with particular reference to the language teaching /learningsituation in japan. As a necessary corollary of this investigation, consideration is givento the implications for language teacher education where, it is argued,teachers-to-be need to be provided with the means via which to mosteffectively evaluate innovative ideas and come to terms with thosedifficulties that arise from attempts to apply general principles toparticular circumstances.

Abstract:
This multi-case study focuses on a preservice teacher education program and four of the teacher candidate participants. It is important to the field as the focus is on teacher candidates at a mid-point in their professional coursework and also provides an in depth description of the learning experiences provided in a constructivist teacher education program. The teacher education program known as "the whole language block" consists of undergraduate methods instruction in reading, language arts, and social studies and an apprenticeship experience on-site at Borton Primary Magnet School in South Tucson, Arizona. The philosophy of whole language guides the instruction of the block. The case studies focus on the personal beliefs about learning and teaching of four teacher candidates and provide a "window" into the block experience. The data consists of two participant interviews, participants journals, daily field notes, participant exit cards, participant mid/final reflections, interviews with faculty instructors, and personal reflections of the researcher. The data was used to construct and critically analyze two "typical" days of the whole language block; and to construct four case studies of the experiences of the participants. The results of the study demonstrate a change in the teacher candidates' personal beliefs after participating in the whole language block. Additionally, the results speak to the importance of the use of a constructivist philosophy like whole language in teacher education programs. The critical role of an apprenticeship experience for teacher candidates is also supported.

Abstract:
Many researchers have attempted to identify best practices, habits, and conditions of English Language Learners (ELs, ELLs) pertaining to school success. It is clear EL students pose unique and significant challenges, yet unclear what strategies and program models educators can implement to motivate learning, improve educational experiences, and appropriately acknowledge and reward these learners’ accomplishments. Few studies have attempted to determine the difficulties and challenges associated with academic success and probability of graduation for Late-entry English Learners (LEELs), defined as those entering the school system as eighth-through-twelfth grade students. Their test scores weigh heavily on high-stakes standardized testing accountability measures. Late-entry ELs are often shortchanged when it comes to resources and teachers. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing reports nearly 7500 teachers currently teaching EL students without proper authorization as there simply are not enough teachers to meet the need. This study will give LEELs a voice to describe their educational experiences and perceptions of pertinent hurdles. They will share recommendations of best practices for Late-entry ELs and for the administrators and educators who serve them. The study draws attention to LEEL experiences, honoring them, while informing educational leaders regarding practices that may alleviate educational obstacles. Additionally, the study seeks to ascertain the best way to foster academic success for LEELs. This research is valuable as EL populations continue to grow in California and across the nation.

Siekiant užsibrėžto tikslo tyrimui naudota anketa bei interviu. Tyrime dalyvavo 100 pradinių klasių pedagogų iš įvairių miesto pradinių bei vidurinių mokyklų.
Pupils with speech, language and communication disorders in secondary schools face specific difficulties caused by impaired or underdevelopped language skills. Students must be given individualized support. And one of the major donors is the teacher. The hypothesis shows that teachers in collaboration with the school speech therapists and other specialists from different institutions actively participate in children‘s with language and communication disorders educational process and assist them in dealing with these problems. An empirical study is made to find out teachers' approach to students with speech, language and communication disorders. In order to achieve the objective study a questionnaire and an interview are used. The study involved 100 primary school teachers from various primary and secondary schools in town.

Abstract:
Since changes to the reading/language arts State Subject Area Test (SSAT) in late 2010, elementary education teacher candidates at a teacher training college in the Southern United States have experienced declining scores resulting in test failure and delaying student teaching and graduation. The purpose of this case study was to identify factors that students and faculty perceived as most beneficial in preparing students to pass the SSAT. Constructivism served as the conceptual framework for this study addressing the effects of collaboration, hands-on learning, and application of knowledge. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit 6 elementary education students who had taken the SSAT and 4 full-time reading and language arts faculty members who participated in semistructured interviews. Analysis of coded data indicated themes of preference for experiential learning, intensive strategy instruction, and a review of tested content. Based on study findings, a 3-day professional development training was created to provide students a review of tested subject matter through embedded strategy instruction and opportunities for hands-on application of learning.

Abstract:
Today, the most popular are smartphones, which modern adolescents are so keen on, that sometimes they do not let go of them even in the learning process. This obsession with the smartphone requires new approaches to the organization of educational activities from the teacher. The use of mobile applications in a foreign language lesson expands the possibilities for the development of forms and methods of teaching. They provide the formation of lexical, grammatical and phonetic skills, as well as the ability to speak, write, understand the information which has been heard and read. According to the survey results, the majority of German teachers are ready to use mobile applications and confirm that they are an effective technical tool to stimulate speech activity and develop independence, but at the same time it should not be a substitute for live communication, but only supplement it.

Abstract:
Communication is difficult for students who have little or no clear speech. Consequently, a range of communication systems, including symbols, pictures, or gestures, is used as an alternative to speech. Semantic web technology has had an impact in the educational field and offers the potential for greater engagement with a rich web of content. Students’ behaviour and learning engagement are among the significant problems in managing any group with special needs. Pupils with learning difficulties tend to be more off-task in class, are required to receive more teacher attention, off-task behaviour, ask fewer educational questions with shorter response times, and give less feedback than other pupils. Communication systems have been used since the 1970s to support face-to-face communication with children who have little or no speech ability. From the literature, teaching using communication symbols requires an adequate number of trained staff and an understanding of the complexity of young peoples’ disabilities and behaviour. Teachers often feel overwhelmed in preparing class resources, where more than one resource may be needed to explain each thought (O’Brien, 2019). A new evolution of the web is called the “Semantic Web.” The Semantic Web is an extension of the current traditional World Wide Web - adding semantic descriptions and ontologies. One benefit is that such characterization and modelling help provide additional meaning to the web content; making content machine-understandable (Berners-Lee et al, 2001). Although the Semantic web is applied in different fields including education, there is limited research in the field of mainstream education, particularly for those with special needs. This research was conducted to show the impact of applying semantic annotation techniques in improving the engagement, concentration, and behaviour of children with special needs. This study follows a Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), a research process to discover practical solutions by evaluating the results in a set of iterations to design a SENTP model. The findings present a novel approach to teaching children with various needs by introducing educational prototypes using different semantic annotation content in an educational website. We investigated the impact of the annotation content using the symbol communication systems (Makaton, Widgit, and PECS), pictures, or audios, which are part of the current methods for teaching in UK schools. We selected an appropriate annotation editor to test the SENTP prototype for testing in the study after exploring different techniques. We collected the data from seven schools in the UK: two nursery schools; two special need high schools; one primary state school; and one preschool for children with language and communication difficulties. A total of 23 educators approved to participate in this study. The data are recorded, transcribed, and thematically analysed using NVivo 11. The findings from the in-school experiment indicated that annotated content using semantic annotations could have a significant impact on making the learning process more effective with better class management for students with special needs, including pupils with autistic spectrum disorders.

Abstract:
The Government of Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is undertaking significant primary education reforms, supported by the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) through its flagship Basic Education Quality and Access in Laos program (BEQUAL). The Australian Government has commissioned a study to investigate how the BEQUAL program is making a difference to improving teaching quality and student learning outcomes. This research is part of a multi-year study series undertaken by DFAT's Education Analytics Service to investigate teacher and learning development initiatives in three countries: Lao PDR, Timor-Leste and Vanuatu. In 2019, the new curriculum for Lao language and other subjects was introduced for Grade 1 and is being phased in across all five primary grades. The new curriculum promotes teaching practices that support pedagogies focused on student-centred approaches, active learning, assessment of student learning progress, and a phonics approach to teaching reading. Teachers are being provided with teacher guides and other teaching and learning resources, and receive face-to-face orientation on the new curriculum. In BEQUAL-targeted districts, education support grants are also available to facilitate additional in-service support for teachers and principals. This study has provided the opportunity to investigate teaching quality and student literacy outcomes in Lao PDR over two rounds of data collection, with another planned for October 2022. The Baseline Report captured ‘state of play’ information in 2019 prior to major curriculum changes, as well as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This summary provides an overview of findings and recommendations from the second year (2021) of the study, following two years of BEQUAL support for the implementation of the new Grade 1 Lao language curriculum.

Abstract:
In this position statement, the authors write in support of Ebonics (also known as African American Vernacular English, Black English, Black Dialect, and African American Language) as a legitimate language. The linguistic and cultural origins of Ebonics is traced, along with its legitimacy by professional organizations and the courts. CABE asserts that the role of schools and teachers is therefore to build on students’ knowledge of Ebonics rather than replace or eradicate Ebonics as they teach standard English. This position statement has implications for teacher training.

Abstract:
This research and policy brief uplifts findings from a 2020 survey of 223 California school district leaders. Findings regarding the preparation of beginning bilingual/dual language educators indicate that leaders rated teachers’ linguistic competencies in two languages as the most important ability, followed by teachers’ understanding of bilingualism and biliteracy development and linguistic pedagogical knowledge. Respondents rated beginning bilingual teachers’ preparation to meet the needs of their districts/schools as “moderately well” (M=3.1 out of 5). The brief concludes by identifying policy recommendations for state and local levels as well as for institutions of higher education policies and practice in this statewide “new ecology of biliteracy”: (1) data collection and reporting on bilingual teacher demographics and authorization; (2) increased quality of fieldwork and clinical experiences for future bilingual teachers; (3) increased funding for bilingual teacher preparation programs to diversity pipelines into bilingual education preparation programs, recruitment, support, and program completion; and (4) differentiated professional development experiences for beginning bilingual teachers including mentoring, learning communities, and cross-departmental teams.

Abstract:
The Government of Vanuatu is undertaking significant primary education reforms, including major curriculum changes, to improve equitable access to and the quality of education. Since 2016, a new primary education curriculum has been introduced by stages, accompanied by a suite of in-service teacher training. The new curriculum promotes teaching practices that support new pedagogies focused on student-centred learning and community support, language transition and class-based assessment practices. These reforms are being supported by the Australian Government, through its Vanuatu Education Support Program (VESP). The Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has commissioned a study to investigate how the VESP is making a difference to the Government of Vanuatu’s ongoing primary education reforms. This research is part of a multi-year study series undertaken by DFAT's Education Analytics Service to investigate teacher and learning development initiatives in three countries: Lao PDR, Timor-Leste and Vanuatu. The purpose of this summary is to provide a brief overview of findings and recommendations from the first year (2019) of the Vanuatu study.

Abstract:
Public interest, research and policies about dual language education and the multiple benefits of bilingualism and biliteracy have led to shortages of bilingual education teachers in the state and nation. School districts and educator preparation programs are actively looking for pathways of bilingual teacher preparation to meet local demands for more dual language programs. Modeled after medical residencies, teacher residencies are deeply rooted in clinical training, typically placing residents in classrooms with experienced teachers in high-needs schools where they are supported in their development. Teacher residencies allow for the recruitment of teachers, offer strong clinical preparation, connect new teachers to mentors and provide financial incentives to retain teachers in the school/district of residency. Little is known however, about bilingual teacher residencies in the state. Following a review of various data sources, researchers find that, to date, there are few bilingual teacher residencies offered and that there is a need to expand and study bilingual teacher residencies as one of the most viable pathways to respond to this shortage.

Full text
Abstract:
Grow-Your-Own (GYO) Teacher Education programs that aim to diversify and strengthen the teacher workforce must provide high-quality learning experiences that support the success and retention of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) teacher candidates and bilingual teacher candidates. Such work requires a holistic and systematic approach to conceptualizing instruction and mentoring that is both linguistically and culturally sustaining. To guide this work in the Master of Arts in Teaching in Clinically Based Elementary program at Oregon State University’s College of Education, we conducted a review of relevant literature and frameworks related to linguistically responsive and/or sustaining teaching or mentoring practices. We developed a set of ten mentoring competencies for school-based cooperating/clinical teachers and university supervisors. They are grouped into the domains of: Facilitating Linguistically and Culturally Sustaining Instruction, Engaging with Mentees, Recognizing and Interrupting Inequitable Practices and Policies, and Advocating for Equity. We also developed a set of twelve instructional competencies for teacher candidates as well as the university instructors who teach them. The instructional competencies are grouped into the domains of: Engaging in Self-reflection and Taking Action, Learning About Students and Re-visioning Instruction, Creating Community, and Facilitating Language and Literacy Development in Context. We are currently operationalizing these competencies to develop and conduct surveys and focus groups with various GYO stakeholders for the purposes of ongoing program evaluation and improvement, as well as further refinement of these competencies.

Full text
Abstract:
A panel of 32 reviewers analyzed the Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) of same sample of 29 districts for the second year of implementation of the 2013 California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Using the same four questions as the Year 1 report, the Year 2 analysis also addresses the key differences between first and second-year LCAPs. Key findings from the Year 2 LCAPs review include: (1) similarly weak responses to the needs of ELs by LEAs in Year 2; (2) some improvement in clarity about services provided to ELs in some areas, though most evidence was weak; (3) minimal attention to the new English Language Development Standards; (4) minimal investment in teacher capacity building to address EL needs; (5) lack of attention to coherent programs, services and supports for ELs and failure to address issues of program and curriculum access; (6) weak engagement of ELs’ parents in LCAP process and content of LCAP plans; (7) poor employment of EL data to inform LCAP goals and weak use of EL indicators as an LCAP accountability component; (8) lack of specificity in describing district services and site allocations for supplemental and concentration funding; and (9) difficulty identifying the coherence of responses of EL needs in year 2 LCAPs. Overall, the analysis of the 29 LCAPs continue to signal a weak response to EL needs. The authors reassert the urgency of the recommendations in the Year 1 report, offer additional specific recommendations for the state, county offices of education, and districts, and call upon the state to reaffirm the equity commitment in the LCFF design.
