Resources to Support Newcomer Students
This session will focus on strategies and resources available to empower your multilingual learners (MLL). School districts have seen a large influx of MLL and teachers are looking for resources and tips on teaching this growing population. One resource available is SIOP®, the only empirically validated form of sheltered instruction. In SIOP® training, teachers learn methods for supporting newcomers, identify ways to differentiate assessment and instruction for newcomers, and how to plan SIOP® lessons for newcomers. Another resource is a blended learning program that teaches life and foundational skills for newcomers with culturally relevant, age-appropriate material. With over 3,000 e-books and comprehensive lesson plans with from Jim Cummins, this resource helps teachers engage and support students to become lifelong learners. During this session an overview and demonstration of these resources will be shared as well as techniques for reaching your newcomer students.
