Teacher-Training In-Service Packet. Individualizing Bilingual/ESL Instruction.

This packet is designed to help give inservice training on the topic of individualizing bilingual and ESL instruction. It is hoped that the packet will minimize the preparation time needed and will allow inservice trainers to benefit from the experience of other staff members. The first section of the packet consists of an introduction to individualized instruction, and includes suggestions for familiarizing teachers with the topic. Independent Learning Activities (ILA's) and Learning Centers are defined and discussed in the second section, and the construction of an ILA is outlined in the third section. A bibliography citing books and articles in individualized instruction is included, as well as handouts to be used in inservice sessions. The latter are on the topics of the past tense of irregular verbs, telling time, and making change. Four transparencies to be used in inservice sessions conclude the packet. (CLK)
