Teaching Language, Literacy, and Content to High
Quality Standards
9781631135989 | Levels K–12
This session explains what high-quality standards* are
and their instructional implications in the classroom,
particularly as they relate to ELL, Spanish Language Arts,
and Spanish as a World Language instruction. Participants
examine the principles of standards-based instruction:
instruction that (a) is comprehensible, (b) is grade level
and developmentally appropriate, (c) is of the same rigor
and scope and sequence as the instruction received
by English speakers, and (d) takes into consideration
language and cultural differences. Participants compare
and contrast state and national content standards* and
explore ways to address and implement these standards
in the classroom.
* ELA Common Core Standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills Standards, the ACTFL Standards, WIDA Standards,
etc. Each session is tailored to either teachers of ELL (ESL/ELD,
bilingual, or dual-language), teachers of Spanish as a World
Language or teachers of Spanish for Spanish speakers (heritage
speakers).
Applying Depth of Knowledge (DOK) for Effective
Lesson Delivery with Content/Language Objectives
9781631135996 | Levels K–12
This session focuses on the research framework that
supports the teaching and learning of language and
literacy through the application of Webb’s Depth of
Knowledge methodology. Webb (1997) developed
a process and criteria for systematically analyzing
the alignment between standards and standardized
assessments, called Depth of Knowledge (DOK). The DOK
model can be used to analyze the cognitive expectation
demanded by standards, curricular activities, and
assessment tasks (Webb, 1997). Participants will explore
how the DOK model can be applied to the bilingual, ESL,
and Spanish classroom, and how teachers can learn to
ascribe a cognitive demand level and DOK category in
order to differentiate language and content instruction
for second language learners.
