Principle 5: Establishing an Equitable & Inclusive School Learning Environment

Bridging Oracy and Literacy for English Learners: A Writing Focus
An apprenticeship approach to writing instruction provides the foundation for this session. It is a framework designed to scaffold academic writing instruction through extensive reading, interactive discussions, and a focus on the purpose, organizational structure, and language features of a particular genre. It can be adapted to different grade levels and content areas, enabling English learners to become effective and informed writers across the curriculum.

Principle 2: Engage in Effective Pedagogical Practices

Formative Assessment Practices to Promote Content Learning and Language Development
Effective classroom-based formative assessment practices enable teachers to gauge student growth toward mastery based on learning goals and success criteria, which students can also use to monitor their progress and self-assess. The model of formative assessment used in this session is particularly effective for English learners since they often enter the classroom environment at various educational backgrounds and proficiency levels.
