Summary:
|
Constructing Meaning (CM) is a framework for teaching students academic language acquisition within content instruction. The 5-day Constructing Meaning training teaches teachers how to include language analysis in their backwards planning and how to provide direct instruction, scaffolding, and frequent structured oral and written practice to students so that they learn to express their understanding in an academic register. Construction Meaning trains teachers to ensure that Long-Term English Learners develop the academic language they need for success.
This is the District’s second cohort of secondary teachers to be trained in Constructing Meaning and will serve to strengthen the District's framework. Teachers from 5 Middle and 3 High schools with an emphasis on teachers of SDAIE sections, are taking the training. Teachers from the following schools will benefit from this training: El Dorado Middle School, Oak Grove Middle School, Riverview Middle School, Pleasant Hill Middle School, Sequoia Middle School, Concord High School, Mt Diablo High and Ygnacio Valley High. Three district ToSAs are being certified as trainers so that in the future we can give trainings without contracting EL Achieve presenters.
