Teaching Students to Think Like Scientists Enhances English Language Learning in English

Description:

Just as research supports the Science of Reading approach in literacy and language development—that approach can be applied to the Reading of Science. There are a number of strategies that educators can use when teaching English language learners in content areas.

Participants in this interactive session will participate in active learning strategies and be engaged as a learner as they experience a model multi-modal science lesson that applies the Six Strategies for Teaching ELLs Across the Content Areas.

Science can provide exciting opportunities for students to make discoveries and use their language skills, especially through inquiry-based lessons. This talk offers strategies, resources, and guidance for helping English language learners succeed in science, as well as information about the Next Generation Science Standards.
