Newcomer ELLs, or students who arrive at school knowing very little English, can face many challenges during their first days of school. This course explores some of the social, linguistic and cultural considerations for newly arrived ELLs. Suggestions for helping newcomers access content, establishing connections to parents, and recognizing the learning resources that newcomers bring to their peers and to their teachers are explored. This workshop will cover inquiry-led, Project-Based Learning (PBL) instruction for diverse, multilingual learners, including high school SIFE students.
Participants should bring a device to access workshop materials.
