In this session, participants will explore research-based strategies for supporting ELs' engagement with grade-level academic content. Through he use of interactive activities and classroom video clips, participants will explore strategies for scaffolding academic tasks to meet the needs of ELs of varying proficiency levels. They will also learn and apply research-based strategies for supporting ELs' academic language development through vocabulary instruction and focused instruction of academic language at the sentence and discourse levels. To wrap up the session, participants will apply these instructional strategies to their own teaching contexts.
All participants will receive a copy of the bestselling book Unlocking English Learners' Potential: Strategies for Making Content Accessible. Participants will take away practical strategies for effective instruction of ELs and will leave the day with clear goals for supporting ELs in their context.
