Presentations

Strengthening Biliteracy Through Cross-Linguistic Connections in Multilingual Programs, presented by Patricia Montes Pate and Ana Marisol Sánchez

Bilingual children need the skills to analyze and understand both their languages; to know how they work and how they are similar and different. This interactive workshop will explore how to develop students’ metalinguistic awareness through cross-linguistic strategies and practices. Through classroom videos and strategies such as TheDictado, Así se dice, and Metalinguistic Anchor Charts, we will equip teachers with the practical skills to develop students' biliteracy through understanding the relationship between their two languages.

Designated ELD that Targets Your Students Needs, presented by Patricia Montes Pate and Ana Marisol Sánchez

Need help planning “in response to” Designated ELD lessons? We will share a formative assessment technique, Oral Language Analysis (OLA), used in the SEAL model to help you successfully plan and implement responsive DELD lessons. Through watching videos, analyzing ELD standards, and opportunities for hands-on application and reflection, you will walk away with quick and easy-to-use templates and tools for planning and implementing formative assessments for DELD lessons with your students tomorrow!
