Description
Sentence Starters to Support Self-Awareness Guide is intended for K-12 teachers and counselors to use the sentence starters to help scaffold multilingual learners’ (MLs) discussion of their self-awareness.
Considerations
Discussing individual personal strengths may not come naturally to many MLs, and they will need educators to teach and support their use of the language of self-awareness.
How It Works
- Educators can model discussing their own self-awareness about a personal topic or classroom activity.
- Select a small number of relevant sentence starters from those listed on the template that are the best match for MLs’ age and the task.
- Explicitly teach MLs how to use the sentence stems to discuss their self-awareness.
- Plan your next steps in instruction, keeping student responses and potential areas for growth in self-awareness in mind.
