Principals, Improve Instruction and Student Engagement with DataWORKS

Create a culture of instructional excellence in your school by providing a common language and procedures for lessons, based on classroom-tested research. Effective lessons for new content must be explicit and should contain seven components: Learning Objective, Activation of Prior Knowledge, Concept Development, Skill Development, Guided Practice, Relevance, and Closure.

This workshop covers the methods that make lessons in English more understandable for English Learners. It also addresses how to have ELs learn and use more English themselves during any lessons. This workshop provides educators with more than 50 specific strategies that enable them to achieve these goals whether ELs are designated as starting, emerging, developing, expanding, or bridging.

The Launch to Literacy ELD curriculum is structured in a way that the message of how to read, write, and use language is consistent with how English is taught to native speakers. This systematic, synthetic phonics approach begins with simple skills and concepts and advances in complexity as students advance from starting to developing English learners. The Launch to Literacy ELD curriculum is also structured in a way that the message of how to read, write, and use language is consistent across every level. This feature is vital as students are accelerated through the fast-paced ELD program. With Launch to Literacy, students will be learning to read new words after the first few lessons.
