Strategies to Assist Transitioning, Expanding and Commanding ELLs Achieve Academic Success VIRTUAL 3-hour Workshop facilitated by Pamela Solomon – 11:30-2:30pm

Participants will examine effective strategies to help Transitioning, Expanding, and Commanding ELLs access grade-level academic content, understand complex concepts, and participate confidently and successfully in the mainstream classroom. The session will focus on the importance of explicitly teaching academic and content-specific vocabulary, providing purposeful scaffolds, and creating meaningful opportunities for students to develop their academic speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Participants will explore practical strategies such as graphic organizers, sentence frames, modeling, guided practice, questioning techniques, collaborative learning, and activating students’ prior knowledge. Emphasis will be placed on supporting students’ growing language proficiency while maintaining high academic expectations and gradually increasing their independence. Participants will leave with practical strategies that can be immediately incorporated into content-area instruction to strengthen comprehension, academic language, and overall student success. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
