Description

In this presentation, Pamela Spycher, Director of English Learners and the Language Arts at WestEd, will provide teacher leaders, principals, and district administrators with information on research-based instructional practices for teaching academic language to K-8 English learners and instituting school-wide systems for closing achievement gaps.

In September at SchoolsMovingUp, we are hosting our first e-Workshop series; in-depth, online professional development that is sustained over four weeks, embedded in your own work, and supported by a national expert and a community of online learners. In “Academic Vocabulary for Pre-K – Grade 2 English Language Learners” with Pamela Spycher, participants will explore current research on vocabulary instruction for English language learners in the early years of schooling, have opportunities to share their ideas with colleagues, and receive support to practice implementing strategies.
