 * Job-Alike discussion for Lower Primary Teachers**

**//Please add your thoughts in short paragraph form on the appropriate page of this wiki (links are on the left).//**
//Be sure to add links to web pages or support documents that you like.// //I hope we can collect all of our ideas from our discussion and access them from this wiki.//

**Job-Alike Descriptions** I would like to bring up for discussion differentiation with regard to; What we are doing or what can we do for those students who ‘get it’ the first time and are ready to get started right away or are finished quickly and need more to do? What are the best strategies for helping those who need one-to-one help getting started or who have language or learning issues that regularly require more time and support? How do we best utilize reading, learning or ESL support services?
 * from the BTN website:**

I would also expect that participants will share other favorite classroom strategies that work in lower primary (tips-n-tricks) or maybe some will present classroom challenges that could be brainstormed and discussed during the session.

Originally from Ohio in the U.S, Joseph Snider is currently the ESL support teacher for grades one and two at Thai- Chinese International School. Also the Lower School Team Coordinator for grades one through four, Mr. Joseph is involved in Language Arts curriculum development, weekly grade level team planning meetings, daily push-in ESL support, team teaching, brainstorming with incredible teachers, and sometimes just observing how individual children learn best. It would be great if we could share and document the wonderful things that international teachers are doing in the classroom in order to ensure that every child 'gets it', and then some!
