English Learner Roadmap Local Planning Training of Trainers

This session is designed to equip COEs/District staff with the tools to engage site leaders across their districts in local planning to implement the English Learner Roadmap. The comprehensive reach of the EL Roadmap (across levels of the system and across functions and aspects of schooling) requires building shared meaning of the four Principles, collectively assessing current practices through the lens of those Principles, and setting local priorities.  This session will include an overview of the steps to local planning, sharing of tools and suggested activities to facilitate productive engagement, and case studies.  Participants will have an opportunity to begin to adapt templates and approaches to their own context.

The Local Planning Trainer of Trainer is a session we designed at the request of some of the anchor and partner counties that participated with EL RISE! during the 2020 EWIG. During the 2020 EWIG, EL RISE! facilitated Local Planning sessions (1-2 per year) with the six anchor LEAs to support their efforts to move the CA English Learner Roadmap. Each session engaged a TEAM of leaders and people from within the district with EL expertise and responsibility, and it was highly customized to meet the LEAs where they were and support their forward momentum. The sessions followed a set of planning steps that began with the following: 

(a) jointly constructing Journey Maps looking back on their district’s history of work to improve EL Education

(b) identification of key EL issues “on their plates” currently (including a look at their local data)

(c) crosswalking these issues/concerns and local efforts to the four principles of the EL Roadmap

(d) designing inquiries to build shared understanding of the status and issues in current practices

(e) considering strategic implementation approaches

(f) exploring steps for moving forward and action planning 

This Trainer of Trainers is designed to support County and District personnel TEAMS who are interested in supporting local LEA teams in a similar way. Ideally, the participants in this TOT will be already familiar with the EL Roadmap Principles and, ideally, also somewhat familiar with the types of resources embedded in the Administrator Toolkits. 

This is NOT a presentation that is meant to be replicated.  It is more of a guided sharing of planning steps/protocols and supports that can be used by each county and district in a customized way to facilitate the development of locally appropriate and locally designed implementation plans.  The Trainer of Trainer session will include an exploration of entry points, specific tools, and approaches for the local context.  

The expectation is that participants will take the basic protocol, approaches, and tools from the Trainer of Trainers and use them in customized work with Local LEA teams and in various ways in their roles as technical assistance providers to districts.

Audience: County Office Teams, District Office Teams, Charter System Teams (at minimum, two form the same LEA make a team)

Foundational Literacy Skills for Multilingual-English Learner Students

How can we support the development of foundational literacy skills for our diverse multilingual-English learner students while uplifting their primary linguistic skills? 

Adapting instructional practices to meet the unique needs and characteristics of multilingual-English learners (ML-ELs) is essential. This three-session series will focus on strategies to support phonological/phonemic awareness and phonics paired with oral language. Aligned with Principle 2 of the English Learner Roadmap, participants will learn to identify and address ML-EL students' strengths and unique needs in foundational literacy, recognize opportunities for cross-linguistic transfer and oral language development, and implement effective instructional practices. Attendees will receive a hard copy of the book Literacy Foundations for English Learners by Dr. Elsa Cárdenas-Hagan.

Foundations of Biliteracy in Spanish and English: Teaching Reading in Spanish a la Spanish

This course offers an expansive exploration of effective strategies for teaching biliteracy to emergent multilingual learners through a comprehensive understanding of the Spanish Reading Tapestry Pedagogy. 

**Session 1: The Spanish Reading Tapestry Pedagogy**  

Participants will be introduced to the Spanish Reading Tapestry, a systematic approach that provides a cognitive framework for teaching essential reading skills in Spanish. This session will include a comparative analysis of initial literacy development in both Spanish and English, alongside practical and engaging instructional strategies that promote authentic reading instruction.

**Session 2: Building a Foundation on The Science of Reading for Emergent Multilingual Learners**  

This session delves into the implications of the Science of Reading for emerging bilinguals and English learners. Key components of Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs will be discussed, focusing on biliteracy instruction curriculum aligned with California standards and assessment practices in DLI programs. Instructional strategies aimed at supporting emerging bilinguals in the classroom will also be presented.

**Session 3: Authentic Applications of the Spanish Reading Tapestry**  

In the final session, participants will activate multilingual learners' metalinguistic awareness, exploring teaching strategies to develop cross-linguistic connections. Authentic methods for Spanish literacy instruction, including El Dictado, cognates, word walls, trabalenguas, coplas, and refanes, will be examined and practiced.

Throughout the course, educators will gain valuable insights and tools to enhance their teaching practices and support the literacy development of multilingual learners effectively.

LCRSET Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycles

The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle is at the heart of successful implementation of Literacy Plan action steps in order to achieve your overall literacy goals for your students. You will engage in four PDSA cycles throughout the year with your site literacy teams to address a problem of practice identified in your Literacy Plan. 

During these collaborative sessions, you will go through the key steps of the PDSA process - planning a change idea and how to measure its success, implementing the change and collecting data, analyzing the results, and deciding whether to adopt, adapt, or abandon the idea based on your findings.

In addition to the PDSA work, you will have opportunities to network and learn from your peers across sites. By sharing successes, challenges, and strategies, you can collectively problem-solve and discover new approaches to drive continuous improvement in support of your literacy objectives.

By actively engaging in this iterative PDSA process and collaborative networking, you and your site literacy teams will develop the skills to effectively implement change and make data-driven decisions to support student literacy growth.

This is designed for LCRS LEA/Site Literacy Team. Teams include but are not limited to Grant Lead, Site Administrators, Grade Level Leads, Coaches, Reading Specialists and Parents.

Strategies for Elementary Integrated and Designated ELD

How can teachers easily and effectively build language proficiency for their English learner/emergent bilingual students throughout their daily lessons? 

This interactive four-session series provides teachers with a construct and set of strategies that can be effectively integrated into existing lessons and practices. Aligned to Principle 2 of the English Learner Roadmap and the English Learner Toolkit of Strategies, participants will learn to effectively identify and address the strengths and needs of English learner/emergent bilingual students by providing targeted scaffolds and supports. Participants will develop strategies to actively engage students in all four language domains (listening, reading, speaking and writing), deepening students’ use of sophisticated academic language and tapping into their linguistic genius. Teachers will be prepared with tools and resources to implement in their classrooms.

Note: This event is geared toward elementary educators; however, the concepts could be valuable to secondary teachers and coaches seeking a deeper understanding of ELD.
