Scaffolding Academic Literacy with ELs

This two-day institute helps teachers, coaches and instructional leaders . . .

  • Boost student engagement and love of academic literacy.
  • Experience a four-step routine that deepens classroom conversations, critical thinking, close reading and academic writing with any grade-level text.
  • Effectively choose (and lose) scaffolds to support language and content without watering down expectations.
  • Apply learning to your unique teaching context so that every student you serve thrives!

Beyond amazing! So relevant and strategies can be applied in the real world of teaching. I feel renewed after attending Tonya’s great sessions.
