Get ready to move, interact, and have lots of fun as we rehearse activities that engage students to learn academic vocabulary, analyze complex visuals, comprehend difficult text, and THINK! TALK! WRITE! You’ll be able to use the strategies we practice in the session with students the very next day!
We’ll explore an integrated approach to connect language and learning through intentional and inclusive instruction. Together, we’ll examine key elements such as second language acquisition, diversified support, and culturally responsive practices that meet the linguistic, cognitive, and affective needs of bilingual learners. By equipping students with the skills to access grade-level content, engage deeply with academic tasks, and leverage their multilingual abilities, we can help them reach their full potential.
