| Description | | Today’s students must be able to read and understand complex content information. The reading material found in both higher education and the workplace is a cognitive leap beyond the traditional K-12 levels of instruction. In order to be successful in these two environments, students must understand the complexities of listening, speaking, reading, and writing with academic language.
We learn academic language best while actively engaging in evidence-based activities with discourse and dialogue (argumentation) serving as the instructional centerpiece, and where the development of academic language occurs in the context of doing, rather than listening. Science instruction provides a great vehicle for simultaneously learning content AND academic language.
In this workshop, we will focus on how the human brain “works,” how it learns language, and how it makes the transition from informal/everyday language to academic language easily and effectively through the lens of science. You will leave this hands-on workshop with specific strategies to increase the academic language proficiency of all your students in science as well as other content areas.
This free workshop is sponsored in part by FOSS/Delta Education.
Although this workshop is free, you must both register and attend this workshop to receive the free copy of Brian Campbell’ s book, Science Notebooks-Writing About Inquiry. |
