January 15th Professional Learning Opportunities
The Title III team is hosting two professional learning opportunities for teachers on January 15th. Please register for your session in MyLearningPlan.
Reading Instruction for English Language Learners
Time: 8:30am to 3:30pm
Location: Tulsa Technology Center Health Sciences Center, 3420 S Memorial Drive
Ever wonder if teaching reading to English Language Learners is different than teaching reading to native English speakers? In this interactive session, teachers will participate in a book study of "Research-Based Methods of Reading Instruction for English Language Learners" by Linan Thompson and Vaughn. Teachers will learn how these methods fit in the WIDA Framework and take away some practical strategies to implement in the classroom. Because everyone will receive a book, the class size is capped at 50.
Implementing Dual Language Best Practices: Language of the Day
Time: 8:30am to 3:30pm
Location: Dual Language Academy, 2705 N Yorktown Pl
Dual Language teachers will focus on and purposefully plan Language of the Day Activities to encourage and develop vocabulary and metalinguistic skills that can be used in the classroom the next day.
