This workshop will give you a taste of the series A Dynamic Duo: ENL Teachers & School Librarians, a partnership series between the School Library System and the Hudson Valley RBERN. It is designed to promote partnership between ENL teachers and school librarians from the same school. It is ideal if these partners register together for this workshop, but not required.
Participants will be provided with strategies to help them develop a strong foundation for a successful partnership, as well as hear about the special end-of-year events for ELL students that are the culmination of the full series. The full series will be hosted by OU BOCES in the 2023-2024 school year.
This culminating activity has a literacy focus while recognizing students’ achievements. School librarians and ENL teachers working together can provide powerful learning opportunities for English Language Learners and their families. We invite you to attend this session to learn more about each other’s area of expertise and begin building a new partnership that benefits your ELLs. In addition, discussions will be had about accessible materials and parent partnerships. This session will be focused on understanding who are ELLs and how ENL teachers and Librarians support ELLs, exploring instructional strategies and ways to build a partnership with families.
Participants should bring a device to access workshop materials.
