Sessions 3 & 4

English learners possess a wealth of linguistic, cultural, and social assets that are to be valued, affirmed and leveraged for effective learning. This two-part module, with embedded pre-session work and follow-up application and reflection, focuses on how teachers can begin to enact Principle 2 of the English Learner Roadmap policy in their virtual and in-person classrooms. Teachers will hone in on Integrated thematic ELD that gives students context for developing language proficiency. Participants will also learn to effectively identify and address the strengths and needs of English learners by providing scaffolds and supports using graphic organizers, language functions, and differentiated sentence and response frames. Our students’ brilliance shines through when we create the conditions for educational equity and access.

To support deep learning and application of concepts,  the County Office of Education will facilitate one Community of Practice (CoP) to develop a network of practitioners in order to engage in discussing, sharing, applying, and reflecting best practices to build a repertoire of resources and ideas that apply to your local context.  This CoP will take place in between synchronous learning sessions.
