How to Deliver EL Professional Development to Classroom Teachers & Coaching for Success

This one-day workshop is designed for practitioners working in multiple roles to meet the needs of English Learners (ELs) within their districts.  Participants will work both collaboratively and independently as they engage in learning that will help them serve ELs in three capacities: identifying effective instructional strategies, coaching with classroom teachers, and creating professional development.

During this training, participants will:

• Explore high-impact strategies for providing content embedded English language development in the classroom.
• Identify and practice coaching tools and scenarios for working with classroom teachers to meet the needs of English Learners.
• Become familiar with planning tools to enhance the creation of EL professional development for larger audiences.

Participants should bring a fully-charged electronic device and any materials that would be helpful in planning for coaching conversations and professional development (grade-level standards, assessment data, district curriculum materials, information about current district initiatives, etc.).
