What other instruction is the language-connection activity embedded in?\nActivity: What activity will you use to compare the structures with students? (Provide photos\, illustrations\, or descriptions of materials you will use.)\nFollow-up: What will you do as follow up to ensure that your students use what they have learned about the structure in the future?\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\nEarly bird registration by March 6\, 2023: $665/person. \nAfter by March 6\, 2023: $715/person. \nSend 2 people or more and pay $665 each. \nCertificate of Completion\nParticipants who have attended all webinars and completed the project will receive a CAL Certificate of Completion for 15 hours which may be used for continuing education credit depending on the requirements of your state or district. \nPERSONALIZED CERTIFICATES WILL BE ISSUED TWO WEEKS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE INSTITUTE. \nQuestions?  \nPlease contact:  solutions@cal.org \n\nREGISTER
