Portfolio Introduction

This portfolio explains different ideas and strategies that a teacher can use when teaching
ELL students. Its important that the teacher meets the needs of all students in his or her
classroom in order to ensure the success for each student. My portfolio uses a variety of
techniques that the teacher will be able to incorporate in his or her lesson depending on their
students English mastery. Different activities that youll get in this portfolio are; sentence

This portfolio will demonstrate my knowledge and skills for teaching ELLs because, Im
able to use strategies such as assessments to help gage how well the student is preforming in the
classroom. By using assessments you are able to actively observe and record the students in
