Description:
Join MidWest RBERN and Annie Smith for a 2 day Summer Institute focused on increasing access to grade level content and curriculum for Newcomer English Language Learners and Students with Interrupted Formal Education . Day 1: Fostering Active Reading for Newcomers Reading is active; it involves sense making and supporting students to use text as a resource to build new knowledge. In this interactive session we will explore strategies and structured activities that support newcomers to read actively. Day 2: Scaffolding Writing for Newcomers Supporting students to gain control over the ways they can use language to communicate and express their ideas reinforces the value of those ideas and perspectives. When students have explicit tools they gain more power over their own self expression. In this session participants will explore interactive tasks that support newcomers to stretch their writing at the sentence and paragraph level. Participants will receive a total of 10 hours CTLE credit. Registration must be completed by June 24, 2022.  Please click here to register.
