Book Study: Breaking Down the Wall: Essential Shifts for English Learners' Success

In this first-of-a-kind collaboration, teachers and leaders, whether in small towns or large urban centers, finally have both the research and the practical strategies to take those first steps toward excellence in educating our culturally and linguistically diverse children. It's a book to be celebrated because it means we can throw away the dark glasses of deficit-based approaches and see children who come to school speaking a different home language for what they really are: learners with tremendous assets.

Learning Outcomes:

• Participants will address mindsets connected to multilingual students.
• Participants will discuss moving from isolation to collaboration in terms of meeting the needs of multilingual students.

This workshop is offered for CESA 10 Title III Consortium members at no cost. The cost for all other participants will be $250 for the series.
