Rich Cairn & Glenn Wiebe
Secondary (3,4,5)
The Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Program is making the best of inquiry-based instruction in social studies and humanities accessible to all learners – including English Learners. Project Director Rich Cairn will guide teachers through effective instructional strategies to support all of your students. The course arose from a decade of work by history and humanities educators, historians, experts in teaching English Learners, and on research and classroom practices that support ALL learners. This course will feature exemplars of best practice based on the history of immigration and foreign language communities in the U.S., using primary sources and analysis tools. It is specifically designed to assist both 5-12 social studies teachers and those working with ELL students to improve the historical thinking skills and content acquisition of English Language learners. Grant funds allow ESSDACK and CES to offer the training at a discount - making this a great cost-effective way for districts to send multiple educators. (Title III funds may be used for this training.)

Do you have English Learners in your classroom, and you’re just not sure how best to support their academic development? This workshop is designed for classroom teachers with or without ESOL endorsement. We will look at what makes learning difficult for English learners, how the level of second language acquisition impacts strategy use, how to provide scaffolding to overcome difficulties, and then provide time for teachers to develop the tools and resources they need for teaching their first unit of the year. Please bring your laptop, textbooks and any other instructional materials necessary to help you build an upcoming unit.

This workshop is designed to help provide the knowledge and activities for
supporting English learners in the mastery of writing English while working on oral
language development at the same time. We’ll start by comparing phonology and
spelling in order to anticipate difficulties in spelling then move on to grammar and
sentence expansion activities. Next, we’ll focus on writing perfect paragraphs

ESL, SPED, Low-SES, At-risk
Since certain sub-groups of students continue to lag behind their peers in academic achievement, teachers need research-based strategies for bridging the achievement gap. In order to improve postsecondary outcomes for English learners, students with EIP’s, and youth living in low-SES environments, teachers must first understand the underlying factors that contribute to academic achievement then develop strategies for overcoming obstacles to success.
Title III funds may be used for this workshop.
