NCDPI will provide 8 Regional Education Alliance/Consortia (RESA) trainings for Local Education Agency (LEA) and Charter School ESL Leaders who lead the local implementation of the English Language Development Essential Standards.  This spring, the first part of the session will focus on Catching Quality Collaboration with Homebase. Participants will get an introduction to how to find ESL resources in the SchoolNet feature of Homebase that will support language development as well as content knowledge. The session will also give an overview on how to use the English language development standards in conjunction with content standards from the Common Core and Essential Standards as a common point of reference for collaboration between language and content area specialists. The second part of the session will focus on 40 Ways to Read Like a Detective: Supporting Text-Centered Instruction. During 40 ways to read like a detective, participants will explore myriad approaches to a text, approaches which are applicable to or adaptable for learners in all grade levels. New participants to North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Content Sessions should review previous training materials linked at http://www.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/ before attending this session.
