The Accelerating Academic Achievement for English Language Learners seminar focuses on differentiation between ESL and ELD curriculums and sheltered instruction. The presenter will model teaching strategies throughout the training to enable teachers to experience active participation in a learning situation. As a result, teachers will develop a stronger understanding of active participation, collaborative learning and through analysis will be able to make strong instructional decisions for English Language Learners. The models are research-based and participants will be able to apply new learning in their classrooms.
During this interactive seminar participants will:
- Learn information on language-acquisition levels
- Learn student behaviors demonstrated at each stage of second-language acquisition
- Learn instructional strategies to use at each stage of second-language acquisition
- Compare and contrast ELD and sheltered instruction
- Learn a variety of sheltered instruction strategies (e.g., accessing prior knowledge, using processing time, graphic organizers).
What are the learning objectives of this seminar?
As a result of this seminar participants will be able to:
- Plan for instruction using sheltered instructional strategies
- Differentiate instruction for English language learners
