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:Early Childhood Education and Digital Equity
DESCRIPTION:Prior to the pandemic\, the public discourse on early childhood learning and digital media was primarily centered on “screen-time.” When the pandemic struck and devices became the sole connection to the education system\, these types of health recommendations took a back seat to a new reality: mandatory remote learning. \nAs with any shift in policy –even abrupt ones–\, remote learning came with its own advantages and disadvantages for young multilingual learners. \nJoin the Dr. Kathy Escamilla and Annie Duguay of the Center for Applied Linguistics as we examine this topic through the lens of digital equity. \n— \nEach episode of our 30-minute webinar series\, “Research to Policy: Critical Conversations in Language Education\,” examines education for multilingual learners and culturally diverse populations through the lens of digital equity. Topics range from student assessment\, teacher education\, students with disabilities\, early childhood education\, and more. \nRegistration\nPlease click here to register for this webinar.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Asset-Based Approaches for Educating Multilingual Learners
DESCRIPTION:Multilingual learners are arguably this nation’s biggest asset. And school districts across the U.S. have had success creating communities that begin with students’ existing linguistic and content knowledge\, using it as a resource in authentic learning tasks that promote cultural flexibility and prepare students for effective participation in global contexts. \nBut there still exists a disconnect between our discourse and our reality. Our current policy landscape labels students as what they do not possess (i.e. English language learners). Meanwhile\, the demand for multilingual employees and services continues to outpace our supply. \nHow can we replicate an asset-based culture for multilinguals across this country that is both equitable and progressive? \nJoin Dr. Eugene García\, Dr. Ester de Jong\, Gabriela Uro\, and Dr. Joel Gómez from the Center for Applied Linguistics as they discuss this question and consider asset-based approaches for educating multilingual learners. \n\nRegister Here
