Join us to learn about how two districts came together and collaborated in order to make the California English Language Development Standards come to life through practices and strategies derived from collaborative conversations, academic vocabulary and sentence fluency. Participants will engage in discussions about a set of practices to implement during designated ELD. Discussions will be based on interactive thinking and planning around language functions and text structures. The partnership with the Chula Vista Elementary School District and Bakersfield City School District has resulted in common practices around picture prompts. Join the presenters in learning about their three-year experience in developing the capacity of teachers to address language skills which will provide access points to the rigor of the Common Core.
