English Learners and Effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Strategies
2022-10-18, 2022-10-25
October 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th | 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.
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 issue, or those who may need assistance due to interrupted or limited schooling.
Successful 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.
This 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.
During 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.
Participants 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.
This 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.
Based 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.

CIEB 2022
2022-10-21 - 2022-10-23
Bilingual Education: Inclusion and Excellence
To highlight some of the characteristics of bilingual education that have been insufficiently emphasized up to now, such as inclusion and excellence. Since the main objective of bilingual education is to provide students with the highest possible level of linguistic competence, it should be emphasized that this search for quality and excellence is not only not at odds with the concept of inclusion, but on the contrary, it promotes it. The inclusion of all students in a school in the bilingual program and the attention to diversity are factors that are worked on in bilingual schools, just as they are in non-bilingual schools.

La Cosecha 2022

CAL SIOP for Dual Language Programs: Developing Academic Language and Content in Two Languages
2022-12-05 - 2022-12-08, 2022-12-12 - 2022-12-13
December 5-8, & Dec.12-13, 2022, 3:00 to 5:00 PM Eastern Time (six 2-hour sessions)
Foundations of CAL SIOP for Dual Language Programs: Developing Academic Language and Content in Two Languages
Learn SIOP methods for meeting the 3 pillars of dual language education: bilingualism and biliteracy, high academic achievement, and sociocultural competence!
This 15-hour institute (12 hours synchronous and 3 hours on-own) is designed to help leaders, specialists, coaches, and teachers plan for and implement CAL SIOP methods that meet the needs of students learning in not one, but two, languages.
PreK-8 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 to make the online learning engaging, including chats, polls, and breakout-room games and discussions. 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.
The 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.
Reflecting eight major components of sheltered instruction, the SIOP Model provides a framework for teachers to plan integrated language and content lessons (Short, 2013). Educators will collaboratively plan activities, specifically for dual language classrooms, including content, language, and cultural objectives, developing techniques for teaching metalinguistic-awareness strategies, and scaffolding for understanding and production.
Administrators, specialists, coaches, and teachers are encouraged to attend in district or school teams.
Virtual Institute Design

Virtual, synchronous sessions take place in six 2-hour sessions over the course of 2 weeks.
Institute includes a 3-hour optional, on-own assignment.
You will have the opportunity to interact with educators from your own and other schools and districts.
You will be able to immediately apply what you learned to your instruction.

Institute Objectives
Participants will be able to:

Define sheltered instruction in the context of dual language instruction.
Develop effective content, language, and cultural objectives.
Create activities for vocabulary development and background building.
Scaffold language for content learning and use L1 to scaffold to L2 content.
Devise ways to compare and contrast (bridge) languages.
Design interactive activities that promote the use of language models.
Distinguish between practice and application and apply to bilingual environments.
Describe fundamentals of effective lesson delivery in dual language programs.
Design assessments for language learners and assess tasks from the perspective of students learning in two languages

CAL SIOP Training of Trainers Institute: Advanced Coaching Strategies
2023-01-05, 2023-01-12, 2023-01-19, 2023-01-26
January 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th, 2023
Learn effective strategies for providing job-embedded support for teachers implementing the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model in your schools. Please join us for this engaging 2023 online version of our CAL SIOP TOT.
This comprehensive and interactive institute is designed to help participants develop and deliver SIOP Model professional development as coaches or other instructional leadership roles.
The Advanced Strategies institute is designed for those participants who have prior knowledge of the SIOP Model and are supporting teachers in their implementation. In this institute, participants will review and renew specific components and features in order to deepen their knowledge of the SIOP Model. Participants will also extend their own professional skills in supporting teachers’ application of the model by exploring the implementation of job embedded professional development practices such as coaching, guided lesson planning by content area/grade level, development of professional learning communities, and lesson study.
Based on an interactive flipped classroom model, 2023 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 online activities that supplement the presentations. They will listen to recorded mini-lectures, read relevant research articles, watch and “coach” classroom videos of SIOP lessons, apply what they learn to their coaching plans, and interact with other participants through discussion boards and blog posts. Participants will connect online with CAL facilitators weekly to discuss best practices in SIOP professional development, network with other PD facilitators from schools around the world, and receive small group coaching from a CAL PD coach.
This is the right strand of professional development for those who:

Have attended a full introductory SIOP workshop and have a strong knowledge base of the SIOP Model
Have implemented the SIOP Model in their classrooms and/or have a lot of experience supporting teachers who implement the SIOP Model
Have attended the CAL SIOP Training of Trainers Institute: Foundations or similar school/district based training.
Are able to identify examples of SIOP implementation, but need more assistance in helping teachers implement with fidelity.
Are available between January 5th and February 2nd, 2023 to complete approximately 2 hours of self-paced online assignments per week (to include watching videos, reading articles, listening to mini-lectures on SIOP components, and planning for their own PD sessions, etc.).

English Learners and Effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Strategies
2023-02-01, 2023-02-08, 2023-02-15, 2023-02-22
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.
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 issue, or those who may need assistance due to interrupted or limited schooling.
Successful 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.
This 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.
During 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.
Participants 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.
This 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.
Based 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.
Questions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings.
Agenda
Topics include:

Review of the MTSS History, Processes, and Continuum of Services
Issues in the misidentification of special needs among English learners
English learner’s second language acquisition characteristics, content learning, and cultural perspectives
Identification, data collection, and goal development for both content and language learning
Tiers I, 2, and 3 instructional practices for second language learners, intervention, documentation, planning, monitoring, and decision-making and support
Working with all stakeholders (i.e., parents, translators/ interpreters, guidance counselors, psychologists, special educators, related service providers, instructional leaders/coaches, content teachers, and students).
Next 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.

Schedule

• 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.
