WIDA In-Person Workshop - Scaffolding Learning Through Language

This two-day, in-person workshop provides educators with a fresh look at how to engage English learners (ELs) in rigorous content-area learning with a balance of challenge and support. The purpose of the workshop is to encourage educators to consider a dynamic set of classroom practices that support EL students as they move toward increasing independence and expertise in grade-level content. Participants will explore how rigorous, well-sequenced curriculum within the content of meaningful experiences contributes to rich classroom interactions that mediate learning. Topics that educators will explore include valuing students’ resources for learning, developing a strong community of learners, and engaging students in rigorous curriculum.
