December 3, 2008 Closing the Learning Gap: Steps That Work Torch Middle School in Los Angeles County, California serves a high poverty, high minority student population that performs well above its peers and has received a “similar schools ranking” of 10 (on a 10-point scale) on the California Academic Performance Index (API) for the past two years. In 2007, Torch was recognized as one of only three California Schools to Watch. While 31% of 8th grade Hispanic students scored proficient or above statewide, 54% of Hispanic 8th grade students at Torch scored proficient or above. Principal Joe Medina and Assistant Principal Robert Reyes will share the actual steps they have taken in moving the school from a decile 1 state ranking in 2000 to a decile 6 state ranking in 2007. This webinar is presented by the American Institutes for Research and WestEd as partners in the California Comprehensive Center to highlight high performing schools making a difference in student achievement.

November 18, 2008 Quality Teaching for English Learners: High Challenge and High Support This webinar will provide an overview of the theoretical and practical basis of a pedagogy oriented to the development of English learners’ conceptual, academic, and linguistic development. Based on sociocultural theory, sociolinguistics, and cognitive psychology, the Quality Teaching for English Learners (QTEL) program promotes the deliberate design and enactment of carefully scaffolded lessons that develop students’ academic potential in rigorous ways. Aída Walqui, Director of the Teacher Professional Development Program at WestEd, will present the principles that sustain QTEL work and anchor them in specific examples of classroom activity. QTEL has undergone field studies and is currently in its second year of a comprehensive three-year true randomized trial study sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences. November 12, 2008 Making Standards-based Lessons Understandable for English Learners: The SIOP Model (Encore Presentation) This presentation is co-sponsored by SchoolsMovingUp and CREATE (Center for Research on the Educational Achievement and Teaching of English Language Learners) and focuses on the challenges English learners encounter in learning grade-level content (e.g., math, science, social studies) through a second language. In this interactive online presentation Jana Echevarria, Professor of Education at California State University, Long Beach, will provide an overview of the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model of instruction, which provides educators with a research-based approach for making standards-based lessons understandable for English learners. With an emphasis on engaging learners and providing ample opportunity for students to use academic English in meaningful ways, the SIOP’s 8 components and 30 features offer a framework around which lessons are organized. With its growing body of research, the SIOP Model has been shown to improve the achievement of students whose teachers implemented it to a high degree. The observation protocol is used by school administrators, teachers, staff developers, and university faculty for observing and quantifying a lesson’s effectiveness. Currently, the SIOP Model is used in all 50 states in the U.S. and in several countries. 1 to 10 of 96 Next |
