EEC116: Differentiation & Academic Language

Educators need to understand academic language and targeted supports for a language-rich classroom in order to plan and deliver effective, meaningful instruction for ELLs. In this competency-based course developed by a WIDA Certified Trainer, participants will learn how to integrate academic language instruction and student-centered strategies in their content area so that ELLs can accelerate content and language development. Participants will receive WIDA Framework tools and content-specific texts and resources in this interactive and engaging course. Participants will generate content-specific fieldwork and a personalized "action cycle" implementation plan for new learning to immediately impact teaching practice and ELL learning outcomes. The instructor can customize the course format for district/school needs and deliver the course at the district site.
