Combinations (formerly WIT 101): The Mighty Sentence - 1-Day Introductory Workshop for Teachers of English Learners - at Orange-Ulster BOCES

  • Orange-Ulster BOCES - Amy Bull Crist Education Center 53 Gibson Road Goshen, NY, 10924 United States (map)

Combinations involves explicit instruction in sentence-level routines that develop students' written and oral language, content knowledge and reading comprehension simultaneously. These multiplier strategies are especially powerful for English learners because they also teach how the English language works.

Please join us for this 1-day introductory workshop grounded in the science of reading and based on ideas from our new book, Sentence Strategies for Multilingual Learners: Advancing Academic Literacy through Combinations (Routledge, 2024). You will learn how and why Combinations works to develop high levels of academic literacy for all students. You will be introduced to three foundational strategies and leave with activities for immediate use that tap into and draw upon students' cultural and linguistic assets and that provide access to deep content learning and English language development concurrently for all students.

Participants should bring a device to access workshop materials.

Facility Fee: $38.00
