ESLC2025ONTHEMOVE

This session will focus on resources and best practices to address the most critical question educators are asking themselves as individuals: what can I do right now, in this classroom and in this school, to ensure that my ELL is supported in the area of literacy? Participants will leave the session with a variety of resources, practices and strategies that can be put to immediate use in the school and the classroom. This session will focus on strategies that include building background knowledge, increasing academic vocabulary and literacy skills.

Our school has been actively working on using criteria and self-assessment to improve student learning. This session will invite participants into our journey by sharing practical examples of our implementation process in division one and two classrooms with a range of English language proficiency levels (yes, even beginners!). Every journey has its challenges and unexpected benefits, these will be shared as well. Come prepared for an interactive discussion and hopefully a few laughs along the way!
