In this workshop, teachers will examine Part II of the California ELD Standards: Learning About How English Works. Teachers will explore the elements common to academic English. Teachers will recognize not only the role of academic vocabulary, but also complex sentence structure, and text organizational patterns. Teachers will apply strategic instruction to target these areas and help English Learner students make meaning of these elements and use academic language to express themselves effectively.
