| This interactive presentation will address practical, powerful ways to differentiate science instruction for English Learners. Many science teachers know about the 5 Es (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) of inquiry-based instruction and teaching tools such as graphic organizers, but they want to know how to extend these strategies to reach and teach English Learners. John Carr and Ursula Sexton, Senior Research Associates at WestEd and co-authors of the new book, Making Science Accessible to English Learners: A Guidebook for Teachers, will lead participants through slides, examples, and opportunities for questions and comments. It's all about engaging students through hands-on activities, showing while speaking, and supportive writing so students learn to think and communicate as real scientists do. The focus of this presentation will be middle and high school, but inclusive of upper elementary grades also. |
