We are also looking to develop new strategies to best meet the needs of our ENL and struggling readers.]]> 2018-07-10 13:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844064 https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844068 I am taking this course to deepen my understanding of how to more explicitly teach academic language in the hopes that it will help to boost the level of conversations in the classroom.]]> 2018-07-10 13:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844068 https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844069 I was interested in taking this course to further dive into using academic language in my classroom and with small groups of students I teach. This past year, we started diving into AL during PD's and SIC days and I began to use some of the concepts in my everyday practice. I feel that I am ready to explore this concept at a deeper level.]]> 2018-07-10 13:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844069 https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844082 To have a clear definition of what academic language is and how to differentiate the instruction for diverse learners. ]]> 2018-07-10 13:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844082 https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844108 I hope to learn strategies to reach struggling language learners. -Aurora  ]]> 2018-07-10 13:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844108 https://padlet.com/moranm6/octv7r25kpqh/wish/269844115 Good understandings of theory but would like to further apply in the classroom.

I especially want to make sure it is accessible to ENL students and struggling readers.
