Audience: K-12 teachers, support staff, educators and administrators.

Are you seeing new multilingual students transferring to your schools who have had gaps in their schooling? Are you still building staff capacity and systems to support them? Please join us for this 4-part virtual series from 2:30 to 4 pm. Our multilingual learning experts will bring solid, evidence-based strategies to your work.

This virtual session is targeting Grades 4-8 Interventionists, special educators, classroom educators, MTSS, EST and Data Teams.

In this session, participants will learn about the stages of reading as well as review assessments used for progress monitoring, then have practice looking at assessment data and determining next steps for instruction based on the progress monitoring data.

Participants are also encouraged to bring their own progress monitoring data and there will be time to workshop the data and identify next steps for instruction. We will provide training data for those unable to bring their own.

Elementary teachers and reading interventionists will learn about the research behind how children in PK-grade 5 develop comprehension. In particular, teachers will learn about the role of knowledge on readers’ linguistic comprehension skills, and how they can bring knowledge building practices into the literacy block to improve readers’ text understanding and overall literacy skill.
