 We welcome you to join ELL specialist Michelle Bittick, ELL Coordinator and Math Coach of the Mauston School District, for a discussion on helping ELLs develop academic vocabulary. We will introduce participants to the language acquisiton process, CAN DO descriptors, and WIDA language standards.

With Michelle's years of experience in working with ELLs, she will lead us through:

  • Making Math (or other content area) Glossaries
  • Making Vocabulary Posters with WordArt.
  • Frayer Model and "Foldables" to increase understanding
  • Vocabulary Games

Plan to leave this workshop with materials and knowledge to "plug and play" into your classroom

A $25 stipend will be paid to educators attending this event that are members of the CESA 5 Title III Consortium if registered before 10/15.
