English Learners with Disabilities: Challenges, Strategies, and Tools for Inclusive Schools
WestEd is sponsoring a new two-day summer institute to provide classroom teachers, administrators, and support personnel with the opportunity to learn to address the unique needs of English learners with disabilities (ELSWD). Teachers, grade level teams, administrators and other specialist who work with English Learners and students with disabilities will learn how to best incorporate effective instructional strategies into their daily Tier I instructional planning. During the institute, participants will examine and apply researched-based instructional strategies and techniques that address a diverse range of learning needs, and gain practical knowledge on how to collaborate in order to “tune” or plan lessons to increase accessibility to grade level content for diverse learners.Institute participants will develop skills in identifying the differences between learning challenges caused by language acquisition deficits and learning disabilities and learn research-based instructional strategies that support this unique group of learners build on the foundation of Universal Design for Learning incorporating the critical role of academic discourse using tools to increase structure student interaction. Participants will apply skills through the use of a Backward Lesson Planning tool focused on scaffolding techniques matched to language proficiency levels.
Institutes will be held in Atlanta, June 26-27, Sacramento, July 17-18, and Boston August 7-8, 2018.
