Title: Institute: English Learners and Effective Response to Intervention (RTI) Strategies
Body:
English Learners and Effective Response to Intervention (RTI) Strategies
July 31-August 1, 2018
Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC
The Response to Intervention (RTI) process is designed to assist in the identification of all students who are in need of additional support in the classroom and school environment. These students may include those who are working to acquire English as a second language, those who may have undiagnosed learning and attention issues, or those who may need help due to interrupted schooling or frequent absences.
During this two-day informative workshop, participants will examine the steps of the RTI process that assist in the identification of students in need of additional support in the classroom and school environment; identify the process for the development of an RTI plan that will promote students’ academic as well as linguistic success; examine the steps for differentiating among typical second language acquisition, learning difficulties, cultural differences & influences and issues for students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). Participants will review instructional practices that support teachers’ implementation of RTI plans in the classroom; discuss with colleagues and team members the processes for monitoring and documenting student progress; and explore issues that challenge the practice of correctly identifying and assessing English learners with learning disabilities.

Curriculum Design: Teaching with a Purpose
June 19, 2018
Columbia University, New York
In Curriculum Design: Teaching with Purpose you will go through the steps of backward planning and curriculum design for the World Language classroom. By first envisioning what your students will be able to do at the end of a unit of study, participants will go through the steps on how to get there by setting up the groundwork. You will explore how to interweave a holistic set of skills for students that include organization, language acquisition, understanding of cultural content, collaboration, risk taking, critical thinking, problem solving, technology and more. Instructors will provide strategies for the implementation of purposeful classroom management, progress assessments, differentiation and pacing while staying in the target language. The second part of the workshop will allow you to put into practice what you learned and get started on creating a meaningful unit of study. This workshop is geared towards World Language educators. Any new or experienced teacher looking to revamp a unit of study or create intricate curriculum will find this workshop useful.
