TARGET AUDIENCE

 

Secondary educators of English Learners including teachers, teacher leaders and instructional coaches.

 

OVERVIEW

 

You will work with colleagues to understand theoretically-grounded, evidence-based, and practical approaches to mathematics instruction for English Learners. Each module is designed to bring together individual or small-group reading and discussion together with live, whole-group video sessions that demonstrate powerful learning designs.

 

Below is a sample overview of central themes across four modules:

 

• Module 1: Developing an Ambitious Vision of Mathematics with English Learners

• Module 2: Scaffolding the Design of Tasks and Lessons in Mathematics

• Module 3: Understanding the Role of Language for English Learners to Engage in Mathematical Practices

• Module 4: Task Design to Maximize Interactions

 

FORMAT

​

All modules center on a live session with ample opportunities for you to read, reflect, and apply in depth:

​

• Preparation: You will read theoretical background, analyze video, and online discussions about major themes

• Live Video Session: You will experience in synchronous activities as if you were a student to analyze the conditions under which English Learners can participate in powerful learning experiences.

• Analysis, application, and reflection: You will engage in deep analysis of ideas, tasks, and pedagogical moves found in the exemplar lesson.  You will develop applications to your classroom practice.
