Description

*This is a two (2) day event - Wednesday, February 25 & Wednesday, March 25, 2015


Audience: K-Grade 5: Math Teachers, ELL Teachers, Instructional Leaders

Presenter: Nikki Hendry, and Clare Wurm, SERC Consultants

Description:

The Common Core State Standards call for all students, including English language learners (ELLs), to receive equal access to the same rigorous educational standards. The new math standards call for more communication around math concepts, both orally and in written form. This increases the challenges for ELLs as they need to develop discipline-specific language skills in addition to mathematical content. Math teachers might seek guidance to help them understand the struggles of their ELL students and become better equipped to assist them in achieving the mathematical success necessary for college and career readiness.

This workshop addresses key issues for ELLs such as language acquisition principles, appropriate scaffolding of content, assessment protocols, and effective use of technology in an effort to maintain rigorous, standards-aligned instruction. Participants will learn specific strategies that provide the necessary supports to ensure that ELL students understand and are able to apply appropriate math content. Resources will be shared to assist teachers with providing an approach to differentiated instruction that is most effective for their ELL students. On day two, participants will discuss their classroom implementation experiences and share feedback.
