TELPAS is not merely the accountability measure for our Emergent Bilingual (EBs) students. Success on TELPAS demonstrates that our EBs are genuinely mastering the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) and growing in ALL language modalities! Join us as we explore how to intentionally develop students' academic linguistic abilities in reading and writing. We will explore a number of best practices that further these specific modalities, including text scanning, thinking maps, sentence stems/frames, interactive journals, using rubrics and checklists to allow students to monitor their own writing while providing feedback to others, and more! This is a face-to-face session and participants will earn 6 CPE credits.
