We are most excited to announce our next FREE webinar, Schoolwide Best Practices to Support English Learners, on April 30 at 5 pm EST.
Our presenters will be Andrea Honigsfeld and Maria Dove, experts on educating English language learners. They are the co-authors of several books and the best-selling laminated guide ELLs: Co-Teaching and Collaboration. In this free, hour-long webinar, Honigsfeld and Dove will identify a schoolwide framework for improving programs, policies, and practices for diverse learners.
Webinar participants will learn about four key approaches to working with English learners in a cohesive fashion:
- Mapping and aligning an integrated curriculum—making the general education curricula accessible for all learners
- Collaborative planning, teaching, and assessment—delivering more cohesive instruction to ELs
- Teaching students explicit learning strategies—empowering students by increasing student-led learning
- Promoting disciplinary literacy—providing all students with tools to use content-specific academic language
This webinar will be recorded and archived, so even if you are not able to attend the event live, we encourage you to register to receive information on where to watch the recorded webinar after the event.
