Making Content Accessible for ELLs in the Math Classroom

May 1, 2018  

WEBINAR SERIES OVERVIEW: 

As our EL populations continue to evolve, educators are tasked with the challenge of creating rigorous, yet welcoming environments for learners of linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds. These webinars will address ways you can create a welcoming learning environment for ELs and make language and content accessible for learners from different educational backgrounds and proficiency levels.

Participants will:

•  Become familiar with a scope and sequence of Math Curricula differentiated for ELLs
•  Review math concepts that embed reading, writing, and speaking/listening

Who Should Attend? Content or Grade-Level Teachers, ELL Specialists, Instructional Coaches, Curriculum Specialists, Para-Educators, Teaching Assistants who support English Language Learners in the mainstream.

Presenter:

She has developed curriculum that focuses on a deeper understanding of math concepts, while students develop English reading, writing, and speaking. She has also co-taught high school math classes.
