In dieser Folge begrüßen wir Prof. Dr. Thomas Strasser, Hochschulprofessor für Fremdsprachendidaktik und technologiegestütztes Lehren an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Wien.Wir sprechen mit ihm über die vielen Chancen und Herausforderungen der Künstlichen Intelligenz im Bildungsbereich. Wie kann KI dabei helfen, den Unterricht zu individualisieren und gezielt auf die Bedürfnisse von Schüler:innen einzugehen? Kann KI dazu beitragen, Bildungsungleichheit zu verringern, insbesondere für Schüler:innen aus benachteiligten Verhältnissen oder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen?Neben den Chancen geht es auch um die Risiken. Wir diskutieren, ob KI Lehrer:innen ersetzen könnte, wie Datenschutz gewahrt werden kann und welche ethischen Überlegungen dabei eine Rolle spielen.Abschließend werfen wir einen Blick in die Zukunft: Wie wird sich KI im Bildungsbereich in den nächsten 5 bis 10 Jahren entwickeln? Wird sie den klassischen Unterricht revolutionieren oder eher eine Ergänzung bleiben?Dr. Strasser gibt zudem wertvolle Tipps, welche KI-Anwendungen besonders vielversprechend für den Unterricht sind und wie die ideale Schule mit KI-Unterstützung aussehen könnte.Wenn ihr mehr über KI im Bildungsbereich erfahren möchtet, ist diese Folge ein absolutes Muss!Hier noch die im Podcast besprochenen und empfohlenen Tools:Tools:www.magicschool.ai (Lesson Planning)www.twee.com (Lesson Planning)www.napkin.ai (Visualisierung)www.suno.com (AI Musik)www.gamma.app (KI-gestützte Präsentationen)Communities:https://www.eschoolsvienna.at/homehttps://futurelearning.athttps://eeducation.atKI Newsletter von Ethan Mollickhttps://www.oneusefulthing.org-------------Wir sind Julia Malle und Felix Stadler, selbst Lehrer:innen und Bildungssprecher:innen der Grünen Wien.

Are you dreading all the lesson planning you have to do on repeat for your ELL students? Overwhelmed and unsure about how to bring it all together?In this episode, Beth Vaucher, founder of Inspiring Young Learners, shares a streamlined approach to ESL lesson planning that reduces teacher workload while better supporting multilingual students. She recommends setting quarterly goals instead of yearly ones, allowing for more flexibility based on students' progress.Beth outlines a four-week cycle: start with an initial assessment, followed by three weeks of tailored instruction, and finish with a progress check to see if students are ready to move forward or need more review. She emphasizes setting clear goals for all language domains—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—and aligning them with the homeroom curriculum.Collaboration with homeroom teachers helps ensure goals are achievable, and sharing them with students boosts motivation. Beth also stresses continuous observation, using tools like spreadsheets or notes to track development. She recommends using WIDA proficiency level descriptors (PLDs) for ongoing language assessment instead of relying on annual tests.Resources mentioned in the episode:Generic Rubrics for ELLsWIDA Can Do DescriptorsProgress Monitoring AssessmentsGet More Support:Join the Equipping ELLs Membership Shop our TpT StoreEnter the giveaway:Holiday Giveaway Alert!

On this episode of the Teaching Middle School ELA podcast, Caitlin, Jessica, and Megan have a candid conversation about the shortcomings they noticed collectively between their individual experiences earning their degrees or certifications in education. Their revelations unveil a large gap in learning happening for teachers prior to stepping into their classrooms. You'll hear that the single most impactful lesson they wish they had mastered before stepping into their first year as a classroom teacher is how to batch plan lessons rather than focusing on creating individual units in isolation.This skill of creating a roadmap of standards for a larger span of time actually provides teachers with a guide to follow throughout the year so that their individual units or resources have intentionality and purpose that in turn guarantees actual student growth throughout the school year. Developing a long term plan (a.k.a. Batch Plans) allows teachers to avoid the cycle of jumping from boring textbook lessons to browsing endlessly online during their weekends or re-inventing entire units on their personal time.When teachers avoid the cycle of planning day-to-day, they'll also avoid burnout! You'll walk away with new insights on the benefits of avoiding burnout; including keeping great teachers in the classroom supporting students for years to come!
