Strategies for Building ELLs Background Knowledge in Elementary Grades (K-5) (Virtual) (FOR SULLIVAN BOCES STAFF AND COMPONENT DISTRICTS ONLY)

SULLIVAN COUNTY BOCES CONFERENCE DAY

Research shows that students learn more effectively when they have familiarity with the content they are about to learn. How can we activate the prior knowledge of ELL/MLL students in their new language? Which strategies can we use to provide ELL/MLL students with the background knowledge they may not already have? In this workshop, participants will learn several interactive strategies for activating and building upon the background knowledge that students need to access literacy and content lesson topics and themes, across grade levels. Participants will then choose a newly learned strategy and brainstorm how they might include it in future lessons and units.

To access this workshop, a Zoom link will be shared with registered participants to the email addresses they used to enroll in Frontline (MLP).

Fee: Free
