Overview

Who: Educators Pre-K through 12th grade

What:  This practical, hands-on session introduces educators to the language “functions” embedded in disciplinary content standards. The interactive session moves beyond vocabulary lists and offers educators the opportunity to identify what Key Language Uses (e.g. Inform, Narrate, Explain, Argue) are embedded in the content standards and what associated Language Functions and Features the standards ask students master to demonstrate their conceptual understanding of content. We provide modeled examples and opportunities to intentionally plan for how to support students as they learn these processes. Additionally, we will discuss ways to access and activate students’ “funds of knowledge” so they can make real and relevant connections to the content standards, activating their assets (e.g. home language skills, background knowledge, and content literacy skills).

If your school or district is paying for your registration or you would like to pay via invoice using a PO or check, make sure that you have the code needed to waive the registration fee ready. If your district contact doesn't have this code or you would like for us to create a code for you, you can contact Shannon Rodriguez at sdpenton@uga.edu for help.
