2019 Summer PL: Differentiation for Linguistically Diverse Students

Presenter:  Yvonne Williams M.Ed., WCEPS, Director of MLL Educator Engagement

English language learners need instruction that is differentiated to meet the needs unique to learning an additional language and grade appropriate content. Participants will approach the idea of differentiation of language from an asset-based perspective, recognizing that language learners bring many contributions to the school community. Participants will collaborate to customize instruction for ELLs utilizing the WIDA ELD framework. While planning, participants will have time to reflect on how to create productive struggle in a safe learning environment.
