This workshop is intended for any PK-12th grade teacher in Sacramento County. Content will be differentiated by grade level and content area as appropriate. School leaders, instructional coaches, counselors, and social workers may attend if space is available, as this workshop is geared towards classroom teachers.

The classroom teacher plays a crucial role in providing access to content and building language proficiency for their English learners. This two-day summer series is framed by the four principles of the English Learner Roadmap and focuses primarily on deepening knowledge and implementing quality teaching and learning practices for English learner students. It will feature guidance provided in key California Department of Education resources; including: the ELD Standards, ELA-ELD Framework, and Improving Education for Multilingual and English Learner Students: Research to Practice. A light breakfast and lunch will be offered for both days of this series.

Come learn from a cutting edge San Diego grassroots organization DREAM+DUCATS who are doing impactful work in social entrepreneurship and shifting the education paradigm. We'll explore new possibilities for CTE and workforce development that is student and community-driven, hear from a young person involved in this work, and share ideas for taking these ideas into our schools and communities. Also, we'll have the chance to tour MiraCosta Technical Career Institute.
