This event shares promising and effective practices for English learner students as well as the research-based evidence supporting those practices, with a focus on integrated and designated English Language Development (ELD). Experts and district leaders from New Mexico and California describe education practices that support English learner students, after which participants have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on lesson demonstration.
Participants will:
- Learn about ELD as a comprehensive system that incorporates both integrated and designated lessons.
- Receive strategies for implementing protected time for designated ELD that builds into and from discipline-specific content learning.
- Learn about pedagogical design that incorporates developing English language proficiency while engaging in rich, rigorous, and relevant academic content learning.
- Gain a better understanding of a context for teaching and learning that culturally and linguistically sustains and affirms students’ multiple and intersecting identities.
