Attention ESL Teachers:
Are you a 6-12 ELD teacher who would like to pilot some materials? Fill out this survey and let us know.
The pilot will consist of teaching one unit of National Geographic Cengage INSIDE/EDGE (either Fundamentals for Levels 1/2 or Inside B for Levels 3/4) using Step Up to Writing and Newsela as supplements.
The other option, which you may choose in addition to the curriculum, is to pilot Light Sail. This online resource is a collection of 80,000 fiction and nonfiction texts that students can choose from based on their Lexile level and interest. (See the link below for more detailed information.)
We are hoping that as many 6-12 ELD teachers as possible will choose to pilot the curriculum so that we can work in collaboration next year.
If you pilot materials, you commit to:
- attend the PD (Newsela and Light Sail - Aug 10-11, INSIDE/EDGE/SUTW - TBD)
- collect student data
- share with department colleagues about your experience
- support PD for other teachers if this material is adopted.
More information about the materials can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/ppspilotmaterials
Please consider taking part in this opportunity to lend your professional expertise to the adoption process. Please complete the survey by the end of the day on Monday, June 15th.
Thank you!
