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?
