SUMMARY:Leading Dual Language Programs for Student Success
DESCRIPTION:February 6-10 and 16\, 2023 \nLearn how to enhance or develop your dual language program based on the 7 research-based strands of effective dual language education in the Guiding Principles. Sign up with your leadership team and work collaboratively to make your dual language program the best it can be! \nThis 15-hour\, synchronous institute\, guided by CAL’s decades of experience in connecting research to practice and the CAL publication\, Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education\, provides information and tools to help school leaders gain a solid understanding of the benefits of dual language education\, explore how they can develop a program that promotes student success in two languages\, and increase their impact as leaders. \nThis session is intended for district and school leaders (to include principals\, assistant principals\, and teacher leaders) who are seeking to deepen their practical understanding of the “nuts and bolts” of effective dual language programming. Special emphasis is placed on strategies for ensuring language and cultural equity to create an environment where bilingualism\, biliteracy\, high academic achievement\, and sociocultural competence thrive. \nThe institute will provide a venue for knowledge building\, planning\, and networking with peers. In collaboration with colleagues\, participants will be invited to actively reflect on their current policies and practices to determine next steps for enhancing or building their programs. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about the institute. \nRemote Institute Design \n\nSynchronous\, online sessions take place in one week with 2-hour sessions each day followed by an optional application assignment (3 hours on own) and 2-hour sharing session held during the following week.\nYou will have the opportunity to work with your team (if you come with a team) and interact with educators from other schools and districts.\nYou will be able to apply what you learned to your evolving program.\n\nCurriculum Overview \nThis institute is designed to help educators develop or strengthen their dual language programs.

SUMMARY:English Learners and Effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Strategies
DESCRIPTION:February 1st\, 8th\, 15th\, and 22nd | Learn to distinguish between typical second language development and the needs of students who may demonstrate academic difficulties or possible disabilities and develop a proactive plan for effective classroom interventions to promote student success. \nThe 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 issue\, or those who may need assistance 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 four-day informative workshop\, participants will examine the steps of the MTSS 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 plan that will promote students’ academic as well as linguistic success. Participants will also review instructional practices that support teachers’ implementation of MTSS 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 regard 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 teams\, or who support the MTSS process in their schools. Special education teachers\, coaches\, and district personnel who are active in their schools’ MTSS planning and implementation are encouraged to attend as turnkey support. MTSS 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. \nBased on an interactive flipped classroom model\, this cohort will participate in both synchronous and asynchronous online learning. The synchronous portion will entail participants attending 4 4.5-hour live\, online sessions.  Through an asynchronous\, self-paced format\, participants will complete six hours of online activities that supplement the presentations. They will listen to recorded mini-lectures\, read relevant research articles\, discuss with colleagues\, apply what they learn to their Needs Assessment\, and interact with other participants through discussion boards and blog posts. Participants will have the opportunity to meet online with CAL facilitators weekly to discuss best practices\, and network with other educators from other schools or districts. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nAgenda\nTopics include: \n\nReview of the MTSS History\, Processes\, and Continuum of Services\nIssues in the misidentification of special needs among English learners\nEnglish learner’s second language acquisition characteristics\, content learning\, and cultural perspectives\nIdentification\, data collection\, and goal development for both content and language learning\nTiers I\, 2\, and 3 instructional practices for second language learners\, intervention\, documentation\, planning\, monitoring\, and decision-making and support\nWorking with all stakeholders (i.e.\, parents\, translators/ interpreters\, guidance counselors\, psychologists\, special educators\, related service providers\, instructional leaders/coaches\, content teachers\, and students).\nNext Steps: Tier 2 and Tier 3\, Structured Interventions\, Special Education Evaluation and support\, development of IEPs with linguistically and culturally relevant goals\, and parent engagement.\n\nSchedule \n\n\n\n•    Synchronous (online\, live) sessions will take place on February 1\, 8\, 15\, 22\, 2023. Times will be 9:30 am – 12:30 pm & 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm.\n\n\n•    Between February 1-22\, 2023\, participants will be expected to complete four hours of self-paced content to apply learning from the synchronous sessions\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\nEarly bird pricing prior to January 3\, 2023: $1\,200 per person\nIndividual price after January 3\, 2023: $1\,400/person.\nSend 2 people or more and pay $1\,200 each.\nCost includes all training materials\n\nVenue\nThis Institute will be held online through a combination of interactive online workshops and through self-paced assignments to be completed in CAL’s online learning platform. \nCertificate of Completion\nParticipants will receive a CAL Certificate of Completion for 24 hours which may be used for continuing education credit. \nPolicies\nRegistration  \nREGISTER HERE \nTo reserve your seat for this institute\, please complete the online registration process.
