| Body | Oregon Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages presents: Helping English Language Learners Make Adequate Yearly Progress: Combining Standards, Learning Strategies, and Teaching English through Content A workshop for elementary and secondary educators presented by Judith B. O'Loughlin Statewide Inservice Day, Friday Oct 8, 2004 Red Lion Hotel in Salem, OR More information, (503) 725-4750 or e-mail The No Child Left Behind, Title III legislation requires that English Language Learners demonstrate their ability to make Adequate Yearly Progress in the development of their English language skills and content area knowledge. Teachers of ELLs are required to instruct and facilitate learning through the use of documented research-based instructional methods. In this interactive inservice, Judith O'Loughlin will show teachers how to develop engaging units of instruction and lessons utilizing national standards and a research-based repertoire of learning strategies. Participants will learn two types of strategies: 1) learning strategies to teach their ELL students, and 2) instructional strategies to facilitate and enhance second language acquisition in their classrooms. Ms. O'Loughlin will demonstrate how to incorporate mini-phonics, spelling, and grammar lessons as well as reflective writing activities in their content lessons. She will offer many ideas for alternative assessments, differentiating instruction, and grouping of students to accommodate multi-level classes. Participants should plan to bring at least one content textbook (social studies, math, science, or language arts) for a textbook analysis activity to enhance their awareness of content challenges. Knowledge gained from this activity will be used to develop model lesson plans, incorporating strategies learned from the inservice. Judith B.
