Registration now open for the 2008 CREATE Conference!
Math, Science, and Social Studies:
A Focus on English Language Learners in Middle School
October 6-7, 2008
Minneapolis, MN
Overview |
The language processes required to
comprehend mathematics, science
experiments, and explanations of
historical events are challenging, even
for students who speak English as their
first language. For English language
learners, these demands can be
particularly high. What techniques
does recent research identify as
effective for English language learners
in specific content areas? Join us as
leading researchers present findings on
the features of instruction that support
English language learners in science,
social studies, and mathematics.
This conference is intended for
instructional leaders in state and
regional agencies, school districts,
schools, colleges of education, and
publishing companies. The conference
supports participants’ learning with:
essential readings on the central
themes of the conference (mailed in
advance), keynote presentations,
question-and-answer sessions with
presenters, and small group
interactions with colleagues.
