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:CAL SIOP for Dual Language Programs: Developing Academic Language and Content in Two Languages
DESCRIPTION:PreK-12 DL teachers and coaches will learn about\, and practice using\, the eight components of the SIOP Model to effectively teach language and content while addressing the three pillars of DL programs: bilingualism and biliteracy\, high academic achievement\, and socio-cultural competence. The Institute will include a variety of activities\, including demonstrations\, simulations and explanations\, small-group tasks\, and the creation of activities and lessons. The institute will encourage reflection needed for each teacher to adapt the CAL SIOP methods to their own unique circumstances. No prior knowledge of the SIOP Model is required for participation. \nThe SIOP Model is a research-based lesson design and delivery system for teaching language and content. Originally designed as an observation protocol for measuring the quality of sheltered lessons for language learners\, the SIOP Model evolved into a method for teachers to plan\, teach\, and assess meaningful lessons\, and to reflect on their own practice. Each component of the SIOP Model is supported by empirical studies (August & Shanahan\, 2006; Genesee\, Lindholm-Leary\, Saunders\, Christian\, 2006) and the model itself has a solid and growing research base (Echevarria\, Richards-Tutor\, Canges\, & Francis\, 2011; Short\, Fidelman\, & Louguit\, 2012; Friend\, Most\, & McCrary\, 2009; McIntyre\, et al.\, 2010; Song\, 2016; Watkins & Lindahl\, 2010). The CAL SIOP Model for Dual Language programs has been enhanced for use in programs in which English and a partner language are used to deliver content instruction. \nReflecting eight major components of sheltered instruction\, the SIOP Model provides a framework for teachers to plan integrated language and content lessons (Short\, 2013). Used as a lesson planning framework\, it ensures that the features of effective instruction critical for language learners are present in all lessons. Educators will collaboratively plan lessons specifically for bilingual classrooms\, including drafting content\, language\, and cultural objectives; developing techniques for teaching metalinguistic strategies; and forming purposeful linguistic interaction. Administrators\, specialists\, and teachers are encouraged to attend as a team. \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.

SUMMARY:Digital Equity in Education: Directions for 2022
DESCRIPTION:What have we learned about “digital equity” during this school year? What practices can we keep –and shed—that will continue to advance digital equity and language justice? What will language education look like in your school in 2022? \nAs the Center for Applied Linguistics wraps up its webinar series for 2021\, Research to Policy: Critical Conversation in Language Education\, we will take stock of lessons learned during the pandemic\, and how we might apply them to 2022. Join the Center for Applied Linguistics’ Maria Cieslak\, Dr. Beatriz Arias\, and Dr. Keira Ballantyne for this live\, 30-minute critical discussion about the future of language education and digital equity. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Keira Ballantyne\nDr. Beatriz Arias\nMaria Cieslak\n\nRegistration \nPlease click here for registration.
