Analyzing Arizona’s Language Development Approach
While all states must adhere to federal laws and policies to remain in compliance, states may address these laws and policies in ways that they deem best to meet the needs of their students. States share many commonalities in how they approach the education of ELs, yet they also exhibit variations.
For this assignment, explore Arizona’s approach to English learner instruction through structured English immersion. Arizona’s Language Development Approach provides underlying beliefs about language, literacy, and learning development through research-based principles intended to be enacted in the instruction of all ELs in the state.
Part 1: EL Education in Arizona
Create a 10-12 slide narrated presentation for Arizona classroom teachers’ professional development. While various slideshow applications are available, PowerPoint is recommended for its integrated voice recording feature, eliminating the need for additional tools. Elaborate on the key points in each slide with supplementary details and examples in your audio narration. Avoid simply reading the content directly from the slide. (JUST CREATE THE SLIDES, I WILL NARRATE THEM BEFORE SUBMITTING)
Your presentation must include a title slide and address the following:
- Explain Arizona’s definition of an English learner (EL).
- Briefly summarize the demographic and home language composition of the PK-12 EL population in Arizona.
- Describe structured English immersion (SEI) as it is used in Arizona, including its distinctions from sheltered English instruction.
- Describe Arizona’s Language Development Approach, including each of the four principles, and the synthesis of the research around ELs.
- Explain student agency and its importance in the instruction of ELs, including in supporting self-determination, a sense of voice, and confidence.
- Discuss components of Arizona’s approved research-based SEI models: newcomer, pull-out, two-hour, and 50-50 dual language immersion (which requires parental waiver).
- Discuss the process used to determine EL program eligibility in Arizona. Refer to the use of the Home Language Survey and Arizona’s English language proficiency assessment, known as the Arizona English Language Learner Assessment (AZELLA). Include how the AZELLA is used for both placement and reassessment.
- Describe the standard accommodations available to ELs for the AZELLA.
- Describe parents’/guardians’ rights regarding EL services (i.e., rights of refusal for program placement, assessment).
Part 2: Summary
In a minimum of 250 words, summarize the following:
- The research-based best practices and foundational principles needed to instruct ELs, regardless of which program model is being used to deliver EL instruction.
- The importance of properly identifying ELs and their needs to ensure they receive appropriate services and supports. Include how you plan to collaborate with other colleagues and professionals in your future school setting to support your EL students.
Support your presentation and reflection with at least two scholarly sources. Include the two below, and also use two free-to-access scholarly sources.
Submit your reflection, scholarly resources, and a link to your presentation in a single document. Ensure that others can access and view the link to your presentation prior to submission.
create the presentation in Powerpoint.

Org Learning Discussion Board
Org Learning-discussion board —>Post your substantive responses (minimum of 250 words excluding references) to the discussion question and respond, with a substantive response/interaction, to a minimum of 2 colleagues by Monday 11:59pm. Please respond to the discussion questions using complete sentences, cite sources for theories, research or ideas from the readings.
Chapter 11: What strategies can organizations implement to prevent workplace incivility and aggression? Have you witnessed any examples of effective or ineffective conflict management in your workplace or other settings?
Chapter 12: What role do communication networks (wheel, circle, all-channel, chain) play in organizational effectiveness? Which network type have you experienced in your team or organization, and how did it impact information flow and decision-making? (my experience- teacher in urban high school setting. I am a career coach and have all seniors. For the first question for chapter 11, I have worked under principals that focused more on micromanaging staff and not students. I once felt targeted by a principal. Her conflict management was horrible. The new school and admin does not micromanage, has great communication, and trusts the staff with getting things completed for the good of the students. Her conflict management is very affective. I had a small conflict with another colleague that she took care of immediately. Very good work environment now.

Participant Observation/ Ethnographic Fieldnote (need in 4 h…
(In my experience of the film Nation, I paid attention to the role of space and community in determining the daily experiences of people. The setting presents a community where various groups of people engage in shared environments, although not all people would have equal access or control. Certain spaces are more advanced and structured, whereas others look abandoned, which is a difference in resources and social standing.
I also noted the way people move in such spaces, as well as the way their behavior varies according to their surroundings. At certain moments, individuals were relaxed and assured, which indicated that a person felt part of the community. Others, on the contrary, appeared to be less brave or more limited, which can be interpreted as being excluded or powerless in society. These differences were also reflected in the manner in which people communicated, such as the tone of voice and body language.
Another indicator of economic inequality was the maintenance of certain areas as compared to others, which were on the verge of deterioration. Such variations indicate bigger structural problems like inequality in access to resources and opportunities. In general, the surroundings contributed significantly to influencing the social interactions, relationships, and opportunities open to people in the community.)
Assignment Overview
You will select your best participant observation fieldnote based on a film in weeks 12, 13, 14. (SEE FIELDNOTE ABOVE) The goal is to gather data that helps answer a guiding question related to one or more of the course themes above.
- Settings you can observe within the films: workplace, home, social gatherings, classrooms, online communities, protests, local organizations, etc.
- Important: This is not an interviewyou are observing interactions as they naturally occur.
Guiding Question Examples
Your guiding question should connect to the themes for Weeks 12-14. Examples:
- How does gentrification affect social interactions in my neighborhood?
- How do rural and urban experiences shape activism in local communities?
- How do social media beauty communities reinforce or challenge gender norms?
- How do technology and race intersect in online influencer communities?
You will not be interviewing people but rather observing and interacting to gather info to help you answer your guiding question.
Required Components of the Fieldnote
Your fieldnote should be structured into four main sections (
Jottings, Description, Analysis, Reflection), plus a coding section. Each section should be 1 page double spaced (4 double spaced pages total, ~1000 words). Please compile all sections of the fieldnote into one document that you will submit via Kritik’s “create” stage.
