In a Learning Site, educators come together for a full day in a live classroom around a common area of practice (also can accommodate a ½ day model). Participants talk with the host teacher and set goals for their own classrooms. Participants who continue the learning through virtual follow-up sessions are also able to earn an academic ladder credit.
SLIFE Math & Native Literacy Learning Site: Join colleagues to investigate the question “"How do we differentiate learning to develop all students’ native literacy and math skills in a SLIFE classroom?" on 2.5.24 at Frederick Pilot Middle School. This site will demonstrate two teachers’ approach to this question as we observe live instruction. After the observation, participants will have the opportunity to think through and debrief with the host teachers about the hows and whys of their teaching practice. Includes a virtual pre-session and follow-up virtual sessions focused on implementing the learning in your setting. Hosted by Mayra Da Rocha and Faustino Ajanel, SLIFE teachers at the Frederick, and the Telescope Network. Earn an ALC or PD hours.

THANK YOU for all the educators that attended theLearning Site at Learning Site at the Blackstone Elementary school in the South End on the topic “How do we differentiate learning to enable all SLIFE students to access complex and enabling texts in English and their native language?” Our host teachers were Emily Sassola and Rocio Diaz Niachi (Blackstone SLIFE/ Bilingual teachers). Debrief facilitators were Kristen Cacciatore & Garcie Champagne (Telescope Networkers). We had 11 participants join from 6 different BPS schools/departments join this session.
After the session, 100% of participants (11 out of 11 exit tickets) said that they would recommend this session to a colleague. Additional comments from participants:
“A lot of great conversations that have me reflecting on my practice”
“Love it. I got so many ideas on how to better what I'm doing in my class.”
“I saw some strong examples of how to increase student independence.”
“I loved getting to meet and chat with so many other SLIFE folks!”
We asked, “What's one thing you learned today that might benefit your students?"
“Mirrored Reading in English and native language”
“Strategies to build independence!”
“Sentence building system, building phonological awareness during vocabulary instruction.”
“The sentence frame system was incredible for incorporating supplemental vocab.”
“I am thinking about tracking data and differentiating for students with mixed ability groupings.”
