CREDE Standards Implemented

CREDE standards help teachers meet the culturally responsive needs of their students. They are guidelines for effective teaching. In the course text by Herrell and Jordan (2008), 50 Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners, there are several CREDE standards that I normally strive to implement on a daily basis. These standards are: Predictable Routines and Signals, Language Framework Planning, Peer Tutoring, and Multimedia Presentations. When special projects are assigned such as newsletters and brochures; I use the CREDE standards Cooperative Learning and Integrated Curriculum Projects. All of the above strategies meet one or all five of the CREDE standards that help improve student learning and achievement.
