How do we meet the individual needs of every teacher and parent as they adapt the Sube materials to their unique classroom or community?
We consider this our greatest challenge.We have been working closely with teachers and parents using the Sube curriculum for ESL children to assure successful implementation in the classroom.
Through our extensive Product Support we provide the training and consultation that is crucial for successful implementation. But we were looking for a way to empower teachers to easily exchange ideas and materials in a more dynamic and spontaneous way. Since teachers and parents using Sube have come up with their own unique solutions over the years, and are always happy to share and exchange ideas, we decided to provide a collaborative environment through which they could interact on their own.
This user-friendly feature allows you, the teacher or parent, to share ELD lesson plans or ideas for ESL games, and actually upload songs, videos, and photos. You can also search the database to find ESL teacher resources submitted by parents or teachers. Please try it and let us know how it works for you.
Teacher ELT Forum and Parent ELT Forum
These forums are a great place to exchange ideas with others that share the same interest in teaching a second language, or preserving a native language. For example, if you are a parent you can share ideas on how to raise your child bilingual or how to start teaching a second language at home. If you are a teacher, you can discuss challenges in the classroom and share solutions. You can also search the forum database to locate specific issues. This forum makes it easy, so give it a try!
In
our search for innovative ways to teach and preserve language and
culture, we happened upon a new technology called Digital Storytelling.
This powerful new media allows anyone, with little computer experience,
to create short 3-4 minute video clips that can be played on a
computer, shared as an email or played on a television. Their power is
in the fact that it is first and foremost, a personal story, realized using
photos, music and your own voice narration. Digital Storytelling can be
a powerful tool in the classroom or at home to preserve oral histories,
develop language skills, educate or raise awareness on community
issues. Find out more...
