Writing for Long Term English Learners
Long Term English Learners (LTELs) make up an increasing percentage of all secondary English Learners in the United States. This second course in the LTEL pathway provides writing strategies designed to lift LTELs into higher levels of language proficiency and help them write complex, grade level texts for multiple purposes across the curriculum. The course is for all content area teachers who work with intermediate level language learners in Grades 4-12.
Teachers will learn strategies to support students in the final push toward proficiency.
To best support our students, we must
build on their strengths.
During this 5 hour training with Beth you will:
plan lessons with a focus on developing writing across the curriculum;
implement strategies that develop academic writing across the curriculum;
develop students' metalinguistic awareness and ability to edit their own writing; and
analyze and assess student writing to determine next steps in instruction.
