This PWIM is a process to teach ELs content specific vocabulary and sentence formation. Curious to know more? Come to our Summer PD session!
Are you using this in your classroom, share your example with us! Also, if you want to try it in your class, but need a little support, reach out! We would love to build a library of examples for this effective tool for English Learners!

The WIDA assessment data will be released in DRC on May 24th. Parents will receive scores through Parent Square on June 17th.
The EL Department will be reaching out to your building leadership to schedule collaborative data meetings.
pronunciation practice
Did you know that there is a new feature in google searches that allows you to hear and practice speaking different words?! Let's just say for example you needed some practice pronouncing "wheelbarrow". Type it into the google search bar with the word "pronunciation". Voila! You can hear it and practice speaking the word!
