SUMMARY:Developing Academic Literacy and Language in the Content Areas
DESCRIPTION:Design practical\, hands-on activities for English learners to be successful within rigorous content instruction while exploring the academic language and literacy practices of the 21st century classroom. \n\nAcademic language is so much more than vocabulary. Please join us for this engaging two-day institute designed to increase understanding and provide practical resources regarding the instruction of academic language and literacy. \nThe institute will focus on the language acquisition of English learners at three levels: discourse\, sentence\, and word or phrase level. The focus will be on bridging from students’ home language(s)\, dialects and more conversational language to the classroom or text language that allows them to meet content and language acquisition standards in the classroom. \nBased on a 21st century approach to literacy\, participants will explore the academic language and literacy practices –– such as listening for the speaker’s point of view or justifying the answer to a math problem –– that students need to be successful within rigorous content instruction. Educators will also learn how to scaffold participation in these discipline-specific practices\, such as creating a model of the planetary system or contrasting two different cultural versions of a story. \nAfter defining academic language and literacy\, participants will learn more about each level of language and how each level is measured in English language proficiency assessments\, such as the WIDA ACCESS test. Participants will analyze classroom videos and texts at each of the levels of language. Facilitators will also draw upon CAL’s federally funded research on vocabulary acquisition and demonstrate methods for identifying and teaching high frequency\, high-utility academic vocabulary. \nThroughout the two days\, activities that teachers can implement in the classroom will be modeled. Strategies are applicable to bilingual learners as well as students at intermediate and advanced proficiencies in English\, including long term English learners. \nThe institute is designed for classroom teachers working with language learners in grades PreK-12. ESL\, reading and other school specialists who work with classroom teachers\, school administrators\, and other educators will also benefit from this valuable professional development opportunity.  Collaborative teaching teams are especially encouraged to attend. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nCERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION\nParticipants will receive a CAL Certificate of Completion which may be used for continuing education credit. \nRegistration\nPlease click here to register for this institute.

SUMMARY:Newcomers in Your School: Cultural Connections and Instructional Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Learn effective strategies and activities to increase your newcomer students’ inclusion and learning in the classroom \nPlease join CAL for this engaging and interactive two-day virtual institute providing practical resources for building a welcoming environment\, both socially and instructionally\, for all students. \nGiven the increasing tide of newcomer youth entering U.S. schools\, it is critical to address the cultural\, social-emotional\, and academic needs of these students to help them succeed in the classroom and beyond. Building on CAL’s decades of experience working with newcomers in educational and community settings\, this institute focuses on two key components for optimizing success for newcomer students in the classroom: \n\nDay One: Cultural Perspectives\, Influences\, and Key Resources\n\n\nDay Two: Adapting Content Instruction for Newcomer Students\n\nParticipants will receive proven strategies and practical resources they can use right away to create a welcoming environment for newcomer students and facilitate their learning. Designed for PreK-12 teachers\, administrators\, and other practitioners who work in educational settings with newcomer students and their families\, such as social workers\, counselors\, and after-school specialists\, CAL encourages teams of colleagues to attend. \nParticipants will learn how to: \n\nRecognize the diversity of newcomers in the schools\, including special populations such as unaccompanied youth\, students with limited and interrupted formal education\, and students who have experienced displacement and migration\nIdentify their own cultural perspectives\, assumptions\, and biases\, and how these interact with others’\nInteract in culturally-relevant ways with immigrant and non-immigrant educators\, students\, and families\nUse effective approaches and instructional strategies with newcomers in the content classroom\nAccess and create ready-to-use resources for classroom instruction\n\nEach attendee will receive a workshop packet with materials that explicitly address how to promote welcome for newcomers within educational settings. Presenters include CAL experts in immigrant and refugee integration and PreK-12 EL education\, building on CAL’s decades of experience in working with language learners\, immigrants\, and refugees. \nCertificate of Completion \nParticipants will receive a CAL Certificate of Completion for 14 hours which may be used for continuing education credit. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nCERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION\nParticipants will receive a CAL Certificate of Completion which may be used for continuing education credit. \nRegistration\nPlease click here to register for this institute.
