Reading and writing - which are language-based skills - are essential for reaching high levels of academic achievement in our schools. Students today must learn an increasingly sophisticated combination of advanced literacy skills and competences. Participants in this workshop will leave with a deep understanding of how they can organize instructional cycles to ensure access and relevance for linguistically diverse learners.
Participants will take a deep dive into NYSED's Advanced Literacy Briefs on Linguistically Diverse Learners while learning how to evaluate curriculum and instruction for presence of the four Hallmarks of Advanced Literacy Instruction - Engaging Texts, Rich Discussion, Frequent Writing and Academic Vocabulary. Participants will leave with a tool designed to assist them as they incorporate the Hallmarks into their own instructional cycles.
Participants must bring a laptop or chromebook to access workshop materials.
