Our New Workshop!
#6 ELD Models and
Strategies for Co-Teaching
- Push-in and Pull-out!
With
inclusion on the rise, ELD and Classroom teachers are sharing classrooms more
than ever and becoming effective co-teaching partners. Bring your team,
co-teacher or just yourself and learn the models for co-teaching. Understand when and how to use each model for
effective instruction to second language learners and low language at risk
students. Find out which strategies are best
associated with each model and create make and take activities so you can use
them in the classroom the next day! Engaging, robust English acquisition happens
throughout the day when ELD and Classroom teachers team up to enrich each
lesson with rigorous language instruction.
