Secondary Grades and Writing with Multilingual Learners | 2 Days
DATE CHANGE - See below
Audience: This workshop is designed for secondary grade educators - Social Studies, Science, ELA, English language development specialists, and instructional coaches.
Description: Secondary educators will join this two-day workshop to focus on writing instruction that supports the use of the Teaching & Learning Cycle as a way to empower multilingual writers, not only to produce successful academic writing, but more importantly, to communicate effectively for a variety of purposes and audiences.
Notes:
- This workshop is centered around secondary social studies, but has provided connections to secondary ELA and Science.
- This workshop is not focusing on teaching SIFEs/SLIFEs basic foundational literacy skills.
- If you have attended the elementary grades version of this workshop, you will find the concepts of this workshop to be identical, but we have provided a secondary context and secondary writing samples.
