Let's Learn the Art of Instructional Dance!

In-Person (live stream)

Ballroom B

Consider an elegant dance composed of a lively, yet steady, triple beat… three planning steps, three instructional movements, three exceptional outcomes. Learn to compose a meaningful lesson, which I envision as a, “GLAD® Minuet”. A GLAD® Minuet focuses on making content comprehensible and moving students through all domains of language. It can be as slow or as quick as you design, whatever your preference. The GLAD® Minuet will make your planning a breeze; your instruction effortless and provide access; equity and relevance for ALL your students. This session is great for teachers that want to “do GLAD®” but, have limited instructional time. Secondary, special education, itinerant OR any teacher whose schedule is too tight for a full GLAD® unit, come fill your dance card and join us for a GLAD® Minuet!

Making Math Accessible for our Secondary Students

Virtual ONLY

​

Join DLeNM's math trainer team for a brief overview of our math framework, AIM4S3™, and for a deeper dive into sheltering math instruction to increase mathematical discourse and accessibility for our language learners and students who struggle with math. During the session, we will analyze classroom video from middle school classrooms. Participants will identify sheltering strategies in action with students and walk away with instructional moves that they can use routinely during instruction. This could be applicable for any secondary content teachers looking for a deeper understanding of sheltering.

A Primer on Intersectionality: How Students with Intersectional Identities are Multiply Impacted

Virtual ONLY

​

This workshop will serve as an introduction to the concept of intersectionality with a focus on how it specifically impacts educational settings. Many students in multilingual learning environments also carry other social identities, including race, gender, immigration status, class, among many others. The combination of various social identities produces unique lived experiences where students are often impacted by multiple systems of inequity and oppression. Presenter Shengxiao Sole will combine storytelling with a framework for understanding intersectionality and guide participants through discussions and reflections. Participants will emerge with a deeper understanding that will guide them in creating more equitable and supportive learning environments.
