WIDA Fall Academy

Two Are Better Than One: Collaborating to Support ELLs Within the WIDA Framework

October 3-5, 2012, Baltimore, MD

Level of Focus:

Beginner to Intermediate

Academy Description:

This academy is designed for elementary/secondary school teams of general education and ESL/Bilingual teachers. It will deepen teacher collaboration in delivering content instruction through English development standards-based support to English Language Learners (ELLs). School teams will explore ways to work together to utilize WIDA tools such as the CAN DO Descriptors, Speaking and Writing Rubrics; create language targets merging language with content goals and objectives; and develop action plans for ELLs at varying proficiency levels. Key to this process will be opportunities to engage in collegial discussions and collaborative learning approaches as a model for instructional delivery to their ELLs.
