Audience:
This workshop provides a great opportunity for teams who work with the same language learners to collaborate. Though teams are encouraged, individual participants also benefit from this opportunity. This workshop is for all those interested in supporting and learning more about language development.

Through reading, observation, discussions, and professional reflection, participants will be prepared to:

   • Identify relevant formative assessment practices that advance content learning
     and language development
   • Leverage expert roles within disciplinary practices to create opportunities for
     purposeful language use
   • Create learning goals and success criteria that support content learning and
     language development
   • Use routines that elicit evidence to inform formative feedback
