Results: Academic Language and Literacy Instruction, K-6 (RALLI) Supporting Implementation of the Common Core State Standards
RALLI is a professional development institute designed to provide teachers with the tools and skills necessary to analyze the academic language and literacy demands of complex literary and informational texts. RALLI also supports teachers in designing effective instruction to help their students make meaning from complex grade-level text, whether read aloud to them or read by them with instructional support, and to use evidence from the text to demonstrate comprehension. RALLI core routines include both content and language objectives, following a general sequence for before, during, and after reading.
CALL - Content Area Language and Literacy
CALL is a professional development program designed to provide secondary teachers with the tools and skills necessary to analyze the academic language and literacy demands of course-specific texts and materials. CALL supports teachers in designing effective instruction to help their students read complex texts and to use evidence from the texts to demonstrate their comprehension.
A key requirement of meeting the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts is that all students must be able to comprehend texts of steadily increasing complexity as they progress through school. (Anchor Standard #10)
Students in college and the workforce are expected to read complex texts with substantially greater independence than are students in typical secondary classrooms. College students are held more accountable for what they read on their own than are most students in middle or high school.
CRLP Results: Word Recognition and Fluency Supporting Implementation of the Common Core State Standards: Foundational Skills (K-5)
This CRLP institute focuses on the Common Core Foundational Skills students need to learn, when it needs to be covered within an overall scope and sequence, and howinstruction might be approached. This institute also emphasizes why these skills must be learned, when the optimal time is to teach these skills and how to do so.
ADEPT A Developmental English Proficiency Test
The ADEPT assessed key forms, or grammatical structures, through carefully worded prompts that elicit student responses. Responses to these prompts can provide teachers with valuable information and insight into a student’s command of each structure and the related general utility vocabulary upon which the use of that structure depends. It assesses both receptive and expressive English language proficiency at the first three levels and expressive proficiency at the fourth level.
ADEPT results can help teachers:
- Identify a student’s instructional level for Systematic ELD instruction
- Understand a student’s language abilities for differentiated instruction
- Monitor student progress in English proficiency
- Inform planning for Systematic ELD, Frontloading Language, and Reading/Language Arts instruction
SEBT- Spanish-English Biliteracy Transfer
SEBT Professional Development offers guidance for teachers as they help their students reach grade-level literacy in both Spanish and English, through coherent biliteracy transfer instruction of foundational reading skills aligned to the CCSS and CCSS en Español.
SEBT builds on the concept of interdependence across languages. Teachers learn when and how to make explicit connections to what students have learned in Spanish. The instructional focus is determined by the literacy skills/concepts students already know in Spanish and the level of transferability of those skills/concepts.
SEBT offers a set of assessments specifically designed for transferability of foundational reading skills. These assessments are intended to supplement, if necessary, the foundational skills assessments teachers are currently using and guide instruction for transferability.
ELA/ELD Standards Training
- Revisit the Common Core ELA/Literacy shifts and the expectations for all students, including implications for English learners
- Understand the organization of California's new ELD Standards and their relationship to the Common Core
- Discover and explore ways to use the new ELD standards for planning for English learner instruction across content areas
- Consider strategies for scaffolding English learner success
- Receive tools to aid in planning instruction for English learners

Jeff Zwiers-Gathering, Analyzing, and Acting on Evidence of Oral Language Development
This highly collaborative workshop will focus on improving the gathering and analyzing of oral language evidence in classroom settings. We will clarify several sections of Chapter 2 of the ELA-ELD Framework to identify ways to shift how we teach content through and for oral language, and how we deal with the many exciting yet ephemeral examples of oral language that occur in a lesson. Please bring examples (audio, transcriptions, observation notes) of oral language that you would like to analyze collaboratively in this session.
