How can we support the development of foundational literacy skills for our diverse multilingual-English learner students? It is critical to adapt instructional practices to meet the unique needs and characteristics of multilingual-English learners (MLL-ELs). This event will specifically address strategies to intentionally support MLL-EL students with phonological/phonemic awareness and phonics skills while simultaneously fostering the development of both expressive and receptive language.

Utilizing an asset-based approach, this English language development (ELD) collaborative integrates school and community members in local teams to co-design and implement a comprehensive approach to ELD (including integrated and designated ELD) that is culturally sustaining, aligned to content, and responsive to secondary students’ literacy and language learning needs.

This professional learning opportunity will cover: foundational elements that need to be assessed and why. implementation and scoring 3 screeners/diagnostic assessment tools (Spelling Inventory, PAST, & a Phonics Survey). analyzing the information you will acquire from administering these assessments. how to use data to inform differentiated instruction.

Play is a crucial tool in supporting children's development and can be particularly beneficial for those who have experienced trauma. By creating a safe and supportive environment for children to engage in play, we can help them express their feelings and process their experiences in a healthy way. Incorporating play into our educational approach allows us to foster a culture where each child can thrive.
