SUMMARY:Teaching Reading to Students Learning English: Direct Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Learn effective strategies and activities to develop English learners’ literacy skills as they develop greater language proficiency. \nPlease join us at this three-day virtual Direct Strategies Institute based on CAL’s widely used What’s Different About Teaching Reading to Students Learning English? professional development program. The training will provide participants with an understanding of the methodology and strategies for teaching English learners how to decode and gain meaning from reading as they strengthen their language skills in English. \nThis research-based curriculum incorporates key findings from the National Literacy Panel (2006) on teaching reading comprehension\, vocabulary\, fluency\, phonemic awareness and phonics to English learners with key research-based updates. Connections will be made to college and career readiness standards (such as CCSS) including reading and writing in the content areas. \nThe engaging three-day institute is designed for classroom\, ESL\, and literacy teachers as well as school administrators who want to ensure reading progress on the part of English learners. High school teachers working with newcomers or students acquiring early literacy skills will also benefit. CAL encourages teams of ESL\, reading\, and classroom teachers to attend. Facilitators will model classroom and online learning strategies that can be used directly with students to improve literacy outcomes for language learners. \nTo find out how we can customize this workshop for your school or district\, including online options\, please contact solutions@cal.org. \nWhat you will receive: \n\nThe What’s Different? Study Guide\nAn understanding of the similarities and differences between teaching reading to English learners and teaching reading to native English speakers.\nEffective practical strategies for teaching reading to English learners in the areas of oral language development\, vocabulary development\, phonemic awareness\, phonics\, fluency and comprehension strategies.\nImplications of college and career readiness standards and the science of reading on literacy instruction for English learners.\nStep-by-step guidance on how to use and adapt effective reading strategies for English learners in your classroom.\n\nInstitute Agenda \nSelf-Paced Content \n\nOn April 28\, May 5\, and 12\, 2022 participants will be expected to complete approximately 7 hours of self-paced work in CAL’s asynchronous Moodle platform.\n\nApril 28\, 2022\, 9:30 am -12:30 pm & 2:00 pm – 3:30pm EST. \nIntroductions\, the Nature of Reading\, Comprehension \n\nPrinciples of effective instruction for English Learners\nDefining literacy and the components of literacy\nModels of literacy\nWhat makes a skilled reader?\nReading comprehension and oral language development\nLanguage functions\n\nMay 5\, 2022\, 9:30 am -12:30 pm & 2:00 pm – 3:30pm EST. \nVocabulary Acquisition and Foundations of Literacy \n\nVocabulary acquisition\nThe three tiers of vocabulary for English learners\nSelecting and analyzing the characteristics of vocabulary terms\nPhonological awareness\, phonemic awareness\, and phonics—in a second language\nCentering meaning in the Foundations of Literacy\n\nMay 12\, 2022\, 9:30 am -12:30 pm & 2:00 pm – 3:30pm EST. \nFluency\, Content Area Reading & Putting it all Together \n\nDefining fluency\nDeveloping reading fluency in a second language\nLiteracy assessments and English learners\nDisciplinary language\nReading in content area classrooms\nWrap-Up\n\nCost \n\nEarly bird registration by April 1\, 2022: $855/person\nAfter April 1\, 2022: $1\,030/person.

SUMMARY:English Learners and Effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Strategies
DESCRIPTION:The Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS) process is designed to assist in the identification of all students who are in need of additional support in the classroom\, school environment and in online instruction. These students may include those who are working to acquire English as a second language\, students who face academic difficulties due to factors such as low socio-economic status (SES)\, poor quality instruction\, or other intervening factors; those students who may have an undiagnosed learning issues\, or those who may need help due to interrupted or limited schooling. \nSuccessful implementation of the MTSS [also referred to as Response to Intervention (RTI)] process is key to ensuring that English learners receive appropriate intervention to maximize their academic achievement and language acquisition and are not disproportionately identified for special education services. \nThis workshop will focus on the MTSS process as it relates to the growing number of students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds as they work to acquire a new language and succeed in the classroom. \nDuring this two and a half day informative workshop\, participants will examine the steps of the MTSS/RTI process; differentiate among the characteristics of second language acquisition\, learning difficulties\, cultural differences and influences and issues for students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE); and identify the process for the development of an MTSS/RTI plan that will promote students’ academic as well as linguistic success. Participants will also review instructional practices that support teachers’ implementation of MTSS/RTI plans in the classroom; discuss with colleagues and team members the processes for monitoring and documenting student progress; identify curriculum development and instructional practices to support classroom/content areas teachers with Tier 1\, 2\, and 3 students; and\, explore issues that challenge the practice of correctly identifying and assessing English learners with possible learning disabilities. \nParticipants will review case studies and consider possible areas for observation\, data collection\, assessment\, interventions\, and key points of discussion for school/district faculty\, staff\, related service providers\, and administrators in regards to academic achievement and second language acquisition. As a blend of synchronous and asynchronous online content\, this workshop will include a variety of activities\, such as jigsaw/partner readings\, small group tasks\, analysis of instructional strategies that support Tiers 1\, 2\, and 3 interventions\, and the development of instructional goals and implementation plans. \nThis interactive institute is designed for K-12 general education/content area teachers\, English as a Second Language educators\, Title I teachers\, ELL coordinators\, administrators\, and school personnel/related service providers and interventionists who are either members of MTSS/RTI teams\, or who support the MTSS/RTI process in their schools. Special education teachers\, coaches\, and district personnel who are active in their schools’ MTSS/RTI planning and implementation are encouraged to attend as turnkey support. MTSS/RTI team members are encouraged to attend together to allow for a collaborative approach in developing effective English learner implementation plans for their schools or districts. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nRegistration \nPlease click here to register for this institute.
