Please join us for a professional development workshop focused on multilingual/English learners and literacy. This workshop will highlight content in the newly accessible E-Learning module, Multilingual/English Learners and Dyslexia. The module provides specific examples of how to use students’ knowledge of their native language in learning to read in English, and includes discussion of the ELA/ELD Framework, asset-based pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and screening. Throughout the module emphasizes the importance of integrating oral English proficiency with English language literacy development. The module concludes with an example of an Equity-based Language Assessment and an accompanying activity with resources. Presenters will describe how lessons within the module are aligned to the California Dyslexia Guidelines and address Multiple Subject, Single Subject, and Education Specialist Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs).
