 Overview\n\nThe Center for Latino Achievement and Success in Education (CL
 ASE) at The University of Georgia offers a 30-hour\, interactive\, foundat

 n\n\nStrategies for integrating language goals into content teaching\n\nTo
 ols for encouraging collaborative conversations\n\nWays to make content an
 d language standards real and relevant for all learners while maintaining 
 rigor\n\nOur Online Professional Learning Platform\n\nThe power of this sy
 stem is that it provides a structure for teachers to integrate focused lan
 guage goals with rigorous content instruction\, rather than creating "one 
 more thing" that you have to find the time for. The Instructional Conversa
 tion (IC) System is a "way of teaching" and conceptualizing teaching and l
 earning that positively impacts student language development and opens the
  space for formative assessment and differentiation. To get a better idea 
 of what we are talking about\, the research base behind ICs\, and what an 
 IC looks like\, take a few minutes to view:\n\nA short video example of a 
 real classroom enacting an IC. As you watch\, notice the kinds of academic
  and social language that the students are using. Also\, note that this is
  a mixed ability group with ELs (including one child who arrived in the US
  with no English only 4 months before this video was filmed):\n\nShort Vid
 eo Example of an Instructional Conversation (IC)\n\nA 30-minute video with
  an overview of the Instructional Conversation System:\n\nInstructional Co
 nversation Overview (IC)\n\nAn interview of students talking about what th
 ey gain from ICs and how they perceive IC lessons impact their learning:\n
 \nStudents talk about Instructional Conversations\n\nCost\n\n$850/person\n

  disinfectant wipes for participant use throughout the day\n\nPersonal Res
