Winter Institute Hosted by WABE

This workshop helps teachers identify and provide leveled instruction for their ELL students. It includes an overview of integrated and designated ELD instruction and application of questioning techniques using ELP standards and Bloom’s Taxonomy. OCDE Project GLAD® ELD Review and ELD Group Frame will be the focus strategies for this session. Whether as a refresher or learning them for the first time, participants will go in depth how to deliver these strategies and get practice writing leveled questions. The handout is available electronically. Please print ahead if you want a paper copy. 

The Action Plan is an OCDE Project GLAD® assessment and feedback strategy used to create relevancy of a topic based on student interest. This provides a framework for extension and application of new learning.  Join us to learn how to effectively incorporate project based learning into your classroom through the Action Plan and how to link tasks to the ELP standards.

Participants will learn how to utilize SBA Item Specifications to create math pictorials to engage, expose and prepare students for the SBA Math test.

Discover how OCDE Project GLAD(R) strategies can be used to closing the opportunity gap for English learners in mathematics. The connections between the language routines in the design principles identified by Understanding Language/Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity and OCDE Project GLAD ® strategies give us a framework of high-yield routines that are effective in simultaneously developing mathematical language and content development. These routines and strategies increase opportunities for language output and deepen content comprehension. As the noted ,(Zweirs, Dieckmann, Rutherford-Quach, Daro, Skarin, Weiss, Malamut, 2017, pg. 3), “Mathematical understanding and language competence develop interdependently.”

This session is designed to support teachers in learning how to create supplemental materials to support English Learners in the core subject area of reading, while teaching The Reading Wonders curriculum. I will show you how we have developed a complimentary 6-week unit plan to follow the scope and sequence of a Wonders unit, while embedding OCDE Project GLAD (R) strategies. This plan has been teacher developed and implemented with great success. Come see what could be happening in your classroom.

In this session we will process key OCDE Project GLAD components and strategies through the equity lens.   We will explore how OCDE Project GLAD strategies promote power sharing and student voices. It is critical teachers can articulate the why behind the strategy and ensure they are being intentional about making steps for equity in the classroom.
