Literature is the foundation of much of our educational experience.

• Strategies for handling difficult language in literature (e.g. Old English, Shakespeare, Dr. Seuss, etc) • Adjusting the interpretation of a text used in multiple grades such as “Oh, the Places We Will Go” • Working with students to broaden their knowledge of cultural norms and language (e.g. culturally acceptable and unacceptable words that are seen in classic readings such as Tom Sawyer; classic lines in Shakespeare and poetry) • Exploring the limitations in interpretability of literature in the classroom (e.g. managing reading aloud, interpreting for comprehension-related testing) In a "flipped classroom" style, registrants will be sent a link of the passages to read BEFORE the workshop. |

After two years of membership in the WIDA consortium, many Minnesota educators are seeking a deeper understanding of the new English Language Development (ELD) Standards. This two-day workshop will set the stage for schools and districts to engage in critical conversations regarding the long-term implementation of the WIDA Framework. The goal of this training is for teams of EL specialists, content experts, and administrators to begin planning a customized approach to overcoming the “language gap” that exists between diverse populations of students and which directly affects their academic achievement. Highlights of this workshop include:
* Day One: An overview of WIDA, an investigation on the nature of academic language, and suggestions for using the Performance Definitions and Can Do Descriptors. * Day Two: An exploration of Model Performance Indicators, a look at the use of formative language assessments, and an opportunity to develop an ELD implementation action plan. |
