Workshops

  • Collaboration and Co-teaching to Support English Language Learners: The purpose of this workshop is to explore a framework for collaborative practices ESL, general education teachers, and instructional specialists (e.g., special education, literacy) may engage in and to review, evaluate, and adapt seven co-teaching models that promote an integrated service delivery for the sake of ELLs in K-12 instructional settings.

  • Common Core for the Not-So-Common Learner - K-5 and 6-12 ELA Strategies: What do the Common Core State Standards mean for academically and linguistically diverse learners? What can teachers and administrators do to support all students to successfully participate in standards-based language and literacy learning activities? This session will address these two essential questions based on the presenters’ research, publications, and professional development work in districts around the US.

“Regardless of the size of the group, the topic, or the formality of the presentation, Andrea’s broad expertise and experience working with diverse students and their teachers is apparent in the high quality of the content she delivers. Her “stage” presence in front of a group or in one-on-one conversations is always warm and encouraging in a very authentic way. She has excellent verbal communication skills and is very intentional about the activities she uses to engage participants in learning the content she has well prepared and organized.”
