Connection Protocol Teacher GuideMLL Specialist Guide β’ SIOP & WIDA Aligned Connection Protocol Teacher Guide Session: 45β50 Mins Lesson 1 β’ Launchpad Content & Language Objective Content: Identify common interests and classroom expectations. Language: Use oral and written sentence frames ("I focus best when...") to express preferences and hobbies to a peer. Asset-Based Mindset Multilingualism is cognitive richness.

Thank each student individually for sharing their superpowers today. Four Key MLL Pillars for Week 1 Sentence Frames & Word Banks Always display oral talk frames visually. Never ask an MLL student to speak in front of peers without 15 seconds of partner rehearsal. Total Physical Response (TPR) Pair every routine and key direction with a physical movement (e.g., finger to ear for "Listen", open palms for "Ready"). Translanguaging Allowance Permit students to brainstorm and take personal notes in their dominant language before translating into English. Generous Wait Time (5β7 Seconds) Give multilingual minds time to translate, process, and formulate responses without jumping in too quickly. Post-Lesson Profile Review: Language Roster Notes

Crew Compact Discussion SlidesDay 03 β’ Class Norms Our Promises To Each Other TOGETHER WE CLIMB We make promises to protect each other, celebrate our differences, and build a safe place to grow. Respect & Kindness Repairing Mistakes Reaching Our Goals Word Meaning What Is A "Class Norm"? β Just A Rule Usually tells you what not to do. Given to you by someone else. Followed only because you want to avoid trouble. β Our Community Norm Tells us how to support and care for each other. Created and agreed upon by all of us. Followed because we take pride in our crew. In short: Norms are promises that keep our classroom safe and joyful. Core Values The Four Classroom Pillars π‘οΈ Integrity "Do What Is Right" Be honest, even when the teacher is not looking. Honesty π€ Empathy "Care For Others" Listen kindly. Cheer when a classmate learns. Kindness π§ Grit "Never Give Up" When work is hard, try a new strategy or ask for help. Effort π‘ Curiosity "Ask Questions" Wonder about new words, ideas, and cultures. Wonder Which value helps you learn best? Turn and tell your partner. Restorative Steps When We Make A Mistake: How to Repair STEP 1: OWN IT Say What Happened "I made a mistake when I ______." STEP 2: FIX IT Apologize & Help "I am sorry. How can I make this right with you?" STEP 3: RESET Fresh Start "Next time, I will ______ instead." We all make mistakes. What matters most is how we repair and move forward. Final Step Future Blueprint Signing Our Crew Compact Take out your Future Blueprint Goal Sheet.
