Professional Learning for Content Developers

The English Learners Success Forum Fall Institute will provide content developers with deep knowledge of designing instructional materials that allow multilingual learners to thrive with grade-level content.

You will walk away with…

  • knowledge around what to prioritize when designing with multilingual learners at the forefront
  • a key task and text from your product that has been analyzed for content and language demands
  • concrete plans for how to support students with the content and language demands  
  • examples of student discourse opportunities and formative assessment look-fors tied to the key text and task  

Should you attend?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, then we think this institute is for you.

  • Would you like your content staff to have a shared understanding of the three key design moves for developing materials that are responsive to multilingual learners’ needs and assets?
  • Do you want to understand how states and districts attend to MLLs in curriculum adoption efforts?
  • Are you interested in learning from the leading ML experts in Math, ELA, and Science materials development?
  • Do you want dedicated team time to create prototypes for designing with MLs in mind that can be shared with writers?
