This event is organized and hosted by My School DC.

This event is organized by ElevatED Learning Services.

This is a two-day workshop on Tuesday, December 17 and Wednesday, December 18, 2019.

Day 1 (Tuesday, December 17): DEVELOPING LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES
Learn how to assess the language demands of any academic task, thereby anticipating and planning for the linguistic challenges that can impede student comprehension and engagement. We’ll explore the criteria for effective language objectives and provide you plenty of practice in developing them based on a variety of different unit culminating tasks.

Day 2 (Wednesday, December 18): EXPLICIT TEACHING OF ACADEMIC LANGUAGE
Explore methods for explicitly teaching the different types of academic language that reinforce content – discourse patterns, language functions, new content vocabulary – essential for your English Learner students. You’ll learn how to design activities that ensure your students get the needed multiple exposures and authentic interactions with new words and academic language structures so that they “stick”.

This event is organized and hosted as an independent conference.

The International School Choice and Reform Conference (ISCRC) is an academic conference that gathers scholars who study various forms of school choice, systemic reform and educational innovation. This includes scholarship on how school choice is enacted, the mechanisms that structure school choice programs, and both the individual and systemic outcomes of school choice and reform. To the greatest extent possible, ISCRC includes multiple perspectives. Some of the research is more supportive of various forms of school choice while other research has a more critical stance. Still others favor one form of choice while opposing other forms of choice. They are connected by the goal of using quality research to shed light on how school choice policies actually work.

DCSC will be presenting at the International School Choice and Reform Conference!

If you attend the ISCRC, be sure to attend our breakout during session IV: Charter Schools Join the Fight for Integration: Implementation & Outcomes. This session will feature Sonia Park of DCSC, Priscilla Wohlstetter  of Columbia University, and Sarah A. Cordes  of Temple University.
