Engaging MLs in Rigorous Tier I Instruction

In this workshop, teachers will take their learning of the WIDA ELD Standards to the next level: they will learn how to design a unit with the lessons organized around the WIDA ELD Standards and the teaching phases of the Teaching and Learning Cycle. Teachers should come with a unit that they want to develop as a result of this work that they want to work through in this learning. Prior knowledge of the WIDA ELD Standards architecture is desired.
