Educators will explore the true meaning of sheltered instruction with research-based strategies such as the 7 Steps to a Language-Rich, Interactive Classroom. Chapter 89 of the TAC, recommends the integrated use of second language acquisition methods to meet the needs of ELs. This training is designed to give teachers the tools they need to meet these requirements. It includes approaches to integrating the ELPS into instruction and ways to align linguistic accommodations to the TELPAS descriptors. Each participant will receive the Sheltered Instruction in Texas book as part of the workshop fee.
This session will be offered in a Virtual Zoom format. Region 3 will provide a room for viewing for those participants who wish to come to the services center to participate in the Zoom session.
Districts that are part of the Title III SSA contracted services will not be charged the workshop fee but will charged $35.00 for the book.
