Wakefield- Getting Started with EL [6/7/23] by BetterLesson https://padlet.com/designteam/worgooxmtw4ebrkv en-us 2023-06-07 13:34:17 UTC 2025-11-14 15:24:43 UTC hello@padlet.com This seems like a lot of interdisciplinary activities. I love teaching children to make connections across curriculum. Very exciting! https://padlet.com/designteam/worgooxmtw4ebrkv/wish/2617335709 2023-06-07 16:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/worgooxmtw4ebrkv/wish/2617335709 Will we be doing the labs? They seem like a critical part of the implementation. https://padlet.com/designteam/worgooxmtw4ebrkv/wish/2617338299

One of those examples was independent reading. How do students choose an independent reading book? Are they part of a text set from EL curriculum? Are independent reading books based in the content from the unit? ]]> 2023-06-07 17:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/designteam/worgooxmtw4ebrkv/wish/2617359398 How will MSN, ELL, and other special providers be used in the roll out of implementation?
