ESL/ELD Instruction and the Common Core Content Standards:
Instructional and Programmatic Implications for the Teaching and
Learning of English Learners (EL)
978-0-88272-277-1 | Level: K–12
This session explains the English Language Arts and Literacy in Social
Studies/History, Science and Other Technical Subjects Common Core
Standards (CCSSO, 2010) and their implication for the K–12 ESL/ELD
classroom, including the correlation of the CCSS with other current
standards-based instructional systems such as the TESOL Standards
and the WIDA Standards, and an analysis of implications of the CCSSO’s
“Applications to the Standards to English Language Learners “(2010), and
the “Understanding Language” Conference papers presented during the
Understanding Language Conference (Walki Van Lier, Aida and Lily Wong
Filmore, 2012).
Participants explore the potential and immediate impact of the
implementation of the CCSS in their instruction, and the modifications,
additions, and changes implicit in this implementation. This session will
also explore the effects of the inclusion of ELs in the upcoming PARCC/
Smarter CCSS Assessments (2015) and what the ESL/ELD teacher can do to
prepare students.
Differentiated Instruction in the Second Language Classroom (ESL/ELD)
978-1-60396-704-4 | Level: K–12
This session focuses on Carol Ann Tomlinson’s work, which explains how
ESL/ELD teaching needs to address the differences that occur within
students’ learning profiles. Participants explore how instruction that
emphasizes student decision-making and research is more natural and
effective than instruction in which students are served a “one-size-fits-
all” curriculum. Participants learn how to differentiate instruction and
curriculum in three different areas: Content, Process, and Products.
Reading Strategies for the Second Language Classroom (ESL/ELD)
978-1-60396-705-1 | Level: K–12
The acquisition of reading skills is vital to the development of literacy
in any language. This session discusses pre-, during, and post-reading
strategies and approaches that make scaffolded reading instruction
comprehensible to ALL students, especially students who have had
interrupted formal education (SIFE). Participants learn the appropriate use
of high-interest, low-difficulty reading selections.
Response to Intervention (RtI)
978-1-60396-708-2 | Level: K–12
Participants learn the tiered approach to intervention outlined by RtI and
the activities that both schools and school personnel should address.
They implement the concepts presented by designing plans to improve
the education of students (including those with special needs), as well as
outline an RtI plan for their own students.
Tier 1 – Core Instruction with Differentiated Strategies
978-1-60396-713-6 | Level: K–12
Tier 2 – Supplemental Instruction with Strategic Support
978-1-60396-714-3 | Level: K–12
Tier 3 – Intensive Instruction with Discrete Interventions
978-1-60396-715-0 | Level: K–12
Effective Strategies for Delivery of Instruction for Integrated
Curriculum and Data Management Training
978-1-62263-147-6 | Level: K–12
This session explains the six instructional shifts required for successfully
implementing the Common Core Standards. Participants identify the
anchor standards in the Common Core State Standards in Literacy,
Language, Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects, explore the key
elements of a model for developing an integrated unit/lesson, and explain
the relationships among integrated instruction, the Danielson Framework
for Teaching, and increased achievement for ELL students. In addition,
participants are asked to analyze a sample set of achievement data and
identify areas of strength and weakness and targeted instructional goals,
select key language and content objectives based on the data, and use
those objectives to design an integrated lesson.
Sheltered Instruction Strategies for Language and Content Workshop
Level: K–12
Session focuses on language and content sheltered instruction and
explores proven-effective, research-based planning tools for working with
ELL in elementary classrooms or secondary content area classrooms. This
is a three-session (three full days) workshop, presented either concurrently
or separately.
Session 1 (Day 1)
978-1-62263-144-5
Participants learn effective strategies for planning and preparation: how
to select and use appropriate basal and supplemental instructional
materials, adapt content to different levels of ELL proficiency, and deliver
lessons. They also learn about comprehensible input, and how it is used to
inform explanations of academic tasks, and the application of a variety of
classroom techniques to make content concepts clear (such as modeling,
visuals, hands-on activities, demonstrations, experiments, gestures, and
body language).
Session 2 (Day 2)
978-1-62263-145-2
Participants learn how to incorporate effective teaching strategies into
instruction to ensure comprehensible input. They create content and
language objectives and opportunities for students to use learning
strategies themselves. Participants also learn a variety of scaffolding
techniques, including reading scaffolding and consistent use of scaffolding
from lesson to unit to theme.
Session 3 (Day 3)
978-1-62263-146-9
Participants learn to incorporate additional teaching strategies that focus
on building background knowledge and activating prior knowledge,
such as grouping configurations that support both language and content
learning and clarifications in both L1 and L2. They also learn how to
incorporate practice and application activities that reinforce language
and content objectives and explore ways to review the objectives,
including targeted vocabulary (both subject area/technical and academic
vocabulary) and key concepts and ideas. The session also addresses the
use of formative and summative assessments to evaluate students.
