[PAST EVENT] SURN Multilingual Learners 101 Workshop - Teaching Academic Content and Literacy through an ESL Lens
Access & Features
- Paid event
- Registration/RSVP
Do you have English Learners in your class and wonder how to meet their learning needs?
Join us as we explore the fundamentals of teaching students for whom English is a second or other language. No matter what grade level or content area you teach, this one-day workshop will provide you with both an understanding of how multilingual learners acquire language and how to effectively teach multilingual learners.
Over the course of this interactive workshop, we will explore how multilingual learners acquire social and academic language and literacy. We will learn how to build background knowledge, identify and teach academic language, and provide language and reading practice across the content areas. We’ll also take a look at how to embed culturally responsive instruction into all of our lessons.
Come join us for a day of learning with your colleagues from across Virginia!
