Educating ELLs: Differentiated instruction for ELLs and SWD
Teaching ELLs both content and language skills is complex, and requires flexibility. Based on 2016-17 BESIS data, there are over 160,000 ELLs enrolled in NYC DOE schools. These students were born in over 150 different places, and while most NYC DOE ELLs are Spanish speakers, there are numerous ELLs from China, Yemen, Bangladesh, and other non-Spanish speaking countries. This is why teaching ELLs in New York City is deeply complex: the students are varied in their own backgrounds and there is not a one-size-fits-all approach. ​ This hands-on and research-based series will address these complexities and explore current best practices for teaching ELLs, as well as Students with Disabilities (SWD). Over three sessions, we'll reflect on current practices, analyze and apply techniques for differentiated instruction, and learn how to support students in increasing their participation and verbal interactions in the classroom.
Teachers can earn up to 18 ELL CTLE credits for attending this series.
