Go beyond textbooks and worksheets to create an interactive, motivating classroom where all students are communicating and achieving proficiency through community and a sense of solidarity. In this exciting, hands-on session, participants practice strategies that lead to classrooms with high student engagement, where students help each other stay in the target language! Participants will experience what it feels like to be a learner in class, and will learn techniques that guide language acquisition.
The purpose of this session is to share ways to reach every learner through unique learning experiences. Participants will be shown a variety of ways to engage learners, use data to drive instruction/student ownership, and how to be intentional while being aligned to the standards. Teachers will be able to walk away with a data-tracking chart (Student Growth Report) which they can tweak to best suit their needs, Book Tasting information/menus, and differentiation strategies. Bring a computer to this session.

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on “book tasting” to discover various titles, from picture books to YA novels, that may be relevant and important to their students dealing with various traumas. Discover new books that are available to you through classroom library sharing and our own DCS media centers; share the books that have reached your own students despite their personal struggles; build your own want-to-read list; and connect with like-minded educators who believe in the power of building empathy and understanding through reading.
