HVWP is pleased to collaborate with the Mid-Hudson Teacher Center (MHTC) to offer a special workshop for K-12 teachers in all content areas. This program satisfies the NYSED requirement for professional development that addresses the needs of English language learners.
In six sessions, HVWP teachers will share powerful practices for teaching multilingual learners (MLLs) that help students to develop new skills and confidence to express their ideas in speaking and writing. Each meeting will include an experiential workshop introducing literacy strategies that engage students and offer particular support to MLLs.
Presenters will share culturally relevant practices and strength-based approaches they use in their own classrooms. We will examine and discuss samples of student work and dedicated time will be given to plan how to incorporate new practices into our classrooms.
HVWP facilitator Sarah Wheeler will open and close each meeting, linking the sessions together by offering readings and short prompts for writing and discussion to guide us as we reflect on and integrate our experiences, developing new understanding together.
