SUMMARY:Teaching Reading to Students Learning English: Direct Strategies
DESCRIPTION:February 14\, 21\, and 28\, 2024 \nLearn effective strategies and activities to develop English learners’ literacy skills as they develop greater language proficiency. \nPlease join us at this three-day hybrid Direct Strategies Institute based on CAL’s widely used What’s Different About Teaching Reading to Students Learning English? professional development program. The training will provide participants with an understanding of the methodology and strategies for teaching English learners how to decode and gain meaning from reading as they strengthen their language skills in English. \nThis research-based curriculum incorporates key findings from the National Literacy Panel (2006) on teaching reading comprehension\, vocabulary\, fluency\, phonemic awareness\, and phonics to English learners with key research-based updates. Connections will be made to college and career readiness standards (such as CCSS)\, including reading and writing in the content areas. \nThe engaging three-day synchronous and asynchronous institute is designed for classroom\, ESL\, and literacy teachers and school administrators who want to ensure reading progress for English learners. High school teachers working with newcomers or students acquiring early literacy skills will also benefit. CAL encourages teams of ESL\, reading\, and classroom teachers to attend. Facilitators will model classroom and online learning strategies that can be used directly with students to improve literacy outcomes for language learners. \nTo find out how we can customize this workshop for your school or district\, including online options\, please contact solutions@cal.org. \nWhat you will receive: \n\n14 hours of synchronous\, interactive presentations\, and 7 hours of asynchronous\, self-paced professional development\nThe “What’s Different About Teaching Reading to Students Learning English?” study guide\nAn understanding of the similarities and differences between teaching reading to English learners and teaching reading to native English speakers.\nEffective practical strategies for teaching reading to English learners in oral language development\, vocabulary development\, phonemic awareness\, phonics\, fluency\, and comprehension strategies.\nStep-by-step guidance on how to use and adapt effective reading strategies for English learners in your classroom.\n\nInstitute Agenda\nSynchronous Presentation \n\nOn February 14\, 21\, and 28\, 2024\, participants will be expected to attend a 4.5-hour live\, interactive presentation (3 hours in the AM\, 90-minute lunch\, 1.5 hours in the PM).\n\nSelf-Paced Content \n\nDuring the period of February 14\, 21\, and 28\, 2024\, participants will be expected to complete approximately 7 hours of self-paced work in CAL’s asynchronous Moodle platform.\n\nFebruary 14\, 2024\, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 2:00–3:30 p.m. EST\nIntroductions\, the Nature of Reading\, Comprehension \n\nPrinciples of effective instruction for English Learners\nDefining literacy and the components of literacy\nModels of literacy\nWhat makes a skilled reader?\nReading comprehension and oral language development\nLanguage functions\n\nFebruary 21\, 2024\, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 2:00–3:30 p.m. EST\nVocabulary Acquisition and Foundations of Literacy \n\nVocabulary acquisition\nThe three tiers of vocabulary for English learners\nSelecting and analyzing the characteristics of vocabulary terms\nPhonological awareness\, phonemic awareness\, and phonics—in a second language\nCentering meaning in the Foundations of Literacy\n\nFebruary 28\, 2024\, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. & 2:00–3:30 p.m. EST\nFluency\, Content Area Reading & Putting It All Together \n\nDefining fluency\nDeveloping reading fluency in a second language\nLiteracy assessments and English learners\nDisciplinary language\nReading in content area classrooms\nWrap-Up\n\nCost\n\nEarly bird registration by January 12\, 2024: $1\,025 per person\nAfter January 12\, 2024: $1\,225 per person.\nSend two or more people and pay $1\,025 per person.\nCost includes all training materials.\n\nCredit\nGraduate Credit Option\nAn option for two graduate credits from Trinity Washington University is available for this CAL Institute.
