This workshop will share practical ways teachers can differentiate instruction, assignments, and assessments for EL students. We will look at examples of differentiation strategies used in a variety of subject areas and grade levels. Through hands-on activities, participants will gain an understanding of the language abilities of ELs of each proficiency level, and practice differentiating lessons based on their students’ needs. The information and best practices gleaned from this workshop will help any content-area teachers or EL teachers who hope to improve their EL students’ ability to be successful in the mainstream classroom.
