Join us for two dynamic days of learning, exploration, and collaboration focused on creating meaningful and equitable science experiences for Multilingual Learners. Through hands-on learning, practical strategies, and opportunities for reflection and application, participants will explore ways to connect science instruction to the world around us while increasing access, engagement, and opportunities for all students.
Over the course of two days, participants will:
Explore strategies for creating authentic science experiences that connect learning to the natural and local environment.
Deepen their understanding of instructional practices that promote access, equity, and meaningful participation for Multilingual Learners.
Discover practical resources to support students and educators both inside and outside the classroom.
Engage with science content through the lens of Environmental Education, connecting classroom learning to communities and real-world phenomena.
Experience and practice specific GLAD strategies that support content acquisition, academic language development, and formative assessment.
Collaborate with colleagues to reflect, plan, and apply new learning to their own instructional settings.
Participants will also be introduced to resources and opportunities available through Community-Based Organizations, helping educators extend learning beyond the classroom and connect students with their communities.
This two-day workshop is offered in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s Multilingual Academic Supports unit.
