Former Director, Mathematics Professional Development, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ

Participants will examine research about teaching English
Language Learners (ELLs) -- specifically teaching mathematics
to ELLs. They will learn how to translate that research into
instructional practices through the lens of equity and high
expectations and how to differentiate for students with
different proficiency levels and language domains. In addition,
participants will have the opportunity to design lessons using
specific strategies learned to meet the needs of actual students,
while making relevant connections to strengthening core
instruction for the implementation of Scientific Research-Based
Interventions (SRBI). This session will be part of an innovative
approach to professional development that will use technology
to sustain and build capacity by providing online support.
