SUMMARY:English Learners and Effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Strategies
DESCRIPTION: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. \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 October 4\, 11\, 18\, 25\, 2022.

SUMMARY:English Learners and Effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Strategies
DESCRIPTION: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. \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 October 4\, 11\, 18\, 25\, 2022.

SUMMARY:CIEB 2022
DESCRIPTION:Bilingual Education: Inclusion and Excellence\nTo 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.

Please join us for this engaging online version of our CAL SIOP TOT. \nThis comprehensive and interactive institute is designed to help participants develop and deliver SIOP Model professional development as facilitators in their school or district. \nThe Foundations institute is designed for those with a basic working knowledge of the SIOP Model through some past SIOP Model workshop attendance\, self-study\, or classroom implementation. Participants will review the components of the SIOP Model and acquire knowledge and skills to help PreK-12 or adult education teachers better integrate content and language instruction for English learners as Professional Development facilitators. \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 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 have the opportunity to meet 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. \nThis is the right strand for those who: \n\nHave limited\, or little experience with the SIOP Model\, and would like a review of the eight components and 30 features\nMay have attended a SIOP workshop in the past\, but would like to prepare to teach others about the SIOP Model\nAre interested in beginning to develop the skills of a SIOP facilitator\nAre available between October 6\, – 27\, 2022 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.).\nAre able to join remote/teleconference sessions on the days and times listed below.\nNote: for the virtual presentation\, each participant must have their own device.
