Effective classroom management is the gateway to student learning and success. Many teachers struggle when the target language becomes an obstacle to good management or when it affects student behavior itself. In this session, educators will learn the Dos and Don'ts of classroom management, how classroom management pertains to language classrooms, and take back valuable tips on how to make classroom management effective and how to implement it harmoniously with language development.
Students are not learning the language if they are not speaking the language. This presentation will delve into effective ways to implement small group/centers into immersion classrooms in order to increase students' oral proficiency.
The advent of CCSS has created a need to examine its role in the context of teaching literacy in dual language immersion. There is an urgency to identify effective strategies to make the rigor of Common Core accessible to students in proficiency-driven DLI programs.
This session is based on Roy Lyster's research on the Counterbalance Approach to teach language forms. The presenters will explicitly present its theoretical framework and the instructional sequence protocol to help students achieve higher proficiency and accurate production of language forms that are not easily transferable from L1 to L2.
Collaboration as a dual language immersion team can ensure positive outcomes for student achievement and a successful program. Explore ways to create a culture of cohesiveness between partner teachers, and learn strategies to promote partner collaboration that will enrich instruction between the English and target language classroom.
