From Learning English to Learning in English
Teachers in today's classrooms know that English learners are, in fact, learning English. In classrooms all over the country, students can be heard speaking English as a second language. For students learning English when it's not their native language, the challenge is not simply learning English, but learning in English. Attendees of this workshop will discover:
- Why listening comprehension is so important.
- What it takes to access prior knowledge.
- How many words English learners need to read.
informative Assessment: When It's Not About a Grade
Changing the focus of formative and summative assessment from creating a final grade or score to gaining insights that guide instruction has a positive and powerful impact on student performance. This session is designed to provide K-12 educators with easy-to-implement tools and strategies that can be applied in their classrooms immediately to inform instruction.
