Spend an afternoon digging for the evidence of language growth that students show us through their writing.
- Learn how to identify clues at the word, sentence, and discourse level that can reveal where students are in their language learning journey.
- We will examine writing samples at a variety of language development levels so you are ready to assess the language level of writing samples from your students and plan for their next steps.
- Consider the differences between using general education rubrics versus WIDA-aligned language analysis tools
Do you want to deepen your understanding of how to analyze your student writing samples and add strategies to your toolbox to engage students in the writing learning cycle?
