Description
In this session, participants will explore the first half of their selected book to examine how language development must be intentionally designed across contexts. Through same-book and cross-book conversations, educators will surface key assumptions, identify tensions, and create a concise artifact that captures their text’s core message.

The book study will be held from 9am-12pm with optional work time in the afternoon until 3. No lunch will be provided.

A copy of one of the following books that will be provided by the ESU 10 Title III consortium for members:  

Growing Language and Literacy for K–8 English Learners by Andrea Honigsfeld

Growing Language and Literacy for Secondary English Learners by Andrea Honigsfeld

The SWIRL Method: Supporting Multilingual Learners as They Speak, Write, Interact, Read, and Listen by Susan B. Katz

Between Worlds: Second Language Acquisition in Changing Times by Yvonne S. Freeman and David E. Freeman

If participants are not a member they will need to purchase their own copy and notify the primary contact about the book they selected.
