This session is designed for grade level, content, and ENL teachers in Grades 5-8. Co-teaching teams are encouraged to attend together. In this session, participants will explore relevant research on ELL literacy and second language development and the impact of both on their context. They will discuss ELL vocabulary instructional strategies and scaffolds to build students’ foundational literacy skills at these grade levels. They will also apply reading and writing strategies and scaffolds to build ELLs’ foundational literacy skills at these specific grade levels. Finally, participants will develop a plan for implementing selected literacy strategies for ELLs in their classroom contexts.

Participants will take away vocabulary, reading, and writing strategies for ELLs that they will be able to apply immediately in their own classroom contexts. 

Participants are requested to bring a laptop or other device for use during selected activities in the workshop.
