It takes more than curriculum and strategies to raise EL achievement. We must shift mindsets, raise expectations and empower teachers as professionals to continuously reflect and refine teaching for impact. In theory we know this. In practice, schools get stuck. Join us to lead the change. In this interactive session for administrators and teacher leaders, gain tools to empower teachers with five essentials to excel with ELs: (1) Asset Mindsets (2) High Expectations (3) Strategic Supports (4) Active Engagement, and (5) Reflective Practice. Learn specific ways to reframe deficit thinking and make high-expectations a reality in every classroom. Experience a powerful protocol to foster reflective practice and collective teacher agency for change. Leave with activities you will lead in your PLC, school or district to empower teachers to excel with ELs.
