Lunch and Learn
These lessons have been led by EL Specialist, Krystal Thompson, who oversees the ELL Program at WHS. The SIOP Model emphasizes eight best practices for high levels of learning for our EL student population; and in turn, these strategies are great for ALL learners. Throughout the school year, our staff has learned strategies for teaching writing, reading comprehension, how to make class more interactive and hands-on, and how to be more clear in making the learning and language objectives clear to our students to allow them to own their own learning.
For several of these luncheons, we have partnered with area businesses, the Indiana National Guard, our own Student Government and Culinary Arts classes to provide lunch for our staff. If you or your business would like to partner with us to help provide lunch for an upcoming workshop, reach out to WHS Administrative Assistant, Teri Hodson (hodsont@wws.k12.in.us).
