How does Classworks support my ELL students?
Although the bulk of the activities are in English, Classworks supports emerging bilingual students in three distinct ways:
Individualized Learning
- Wittly by ClassworksTM is available as an AI powered learning assistant.
- She is available to support students as they work on the lessons in their Individualized Learning paths.
- Wittly communicates in spoken and written Spanish as well as English, enhancing accessibility to the content for ELL and low language students.
- Students access Wittly, by clicking on the Owl Icon after they have begun an activity in their learning path
- A student clicks on the 3-dots to access the preferences menu
- On the Preferences Menu students select a style, language and voice for Wittly by ClassworksTM
Universal Screener
- Universal Screeners are available in both English and Spanish.
- Staff members enable the Spanish language versions by updating "Student Settings"
The English language Universal Screener generates the student's Individualized Learning path. The Spanish language screener does not generate an ILP.
SE Competency Survey
- Students in grades 4 - 12 self report by completing a survey
- The students choose English or Spanish language for the printed questions and audio support.
- After starting the SE survey, the student selects Spanish by clicking on "ES" in the top right corner
- Students can hear the question and answer choices by clicking on the speaker icon
