In this workshop, teachers will examine the role of complex text required by the CA State Standards for ELA/Literacy and the CA ELD Standards. Teachers will learn how to identify elements that make a text complex and provide strategic scaffolding that supports students as they make meaning of these texts. Participants will explore ways to differentiate, so that diverse learners improve their ability to access content, while becoming independent and proficient readers.
