Workshops
Workshops
- Collaboration and Co-teaching to Support Multilingual Language Learners: The purpose of this multi-part workshop is to explore a framework for collaborative practices ELD, general education teachers, and instructional specialists (e.g., special education, literacy) may engage in and to review, evaluate, and adapt seven co-teaching models that promote an integrated service delivery for the sake of multilingual learners in K-12 instructional settings.
- Differentiated Language and Literacy Development and Scaffolding: Andrea has designed several shorter and longer professional learning sessions around second language acquisition and literacy development that help complex concepts and processes come alive and become concrete and accessible to all teachers. In addition, her most current collaboratively developed work focuses on a multidimensional approach to scaffolding. In her latest book, Nine Dimensions of Scaffolding for Multilingual Learners, and the accompanying workshops she has designed, she guides educators to look beyond traditional instructional and linguistic scaffolds and also attend to multimodal, multisensory, digital, social-emotional, and environmental scaffolds.
What People are Saying
“Regardless of the size of the group, the topic, or the formality of the presentation, Andrea’s broad expertise and experience working with diverse students and their teachers is apparent in the high quality of the content she delivers. Her “stage” presence in front of a group or in one-on-one conversations is always warm and encouraging in a very authentic way. She has excellent verbal communication skills and is very intentional about the activities she uses to engage participants in learning the content she has well prepared and organized.”
