June 19 -  Culturally Responsive Academic Language - Part 1 via Zoom
June 26 -  Culturally Responsive Academic Language - Part 2 via Zoom
Situational appropriateness is validating and affirming because it gives credibility to home language and culture while at the same time teaching the expectations of Standard English language and mainstream cultural behaviors. Day 2 & 3 trainings will provide specific strategies for teaching students situational appropriateness in language and behavior with a particular focus on writing and academic language.
