Stories, Tools, and Pictures from WIDA 2017
This week a few members from our ELD department had the opportunity to attend the 2017 National WIDA conference. We had a great time learning, networking, and growing as a team!
One highlight and big take away for me was from the keynote speaker Alberto M. Carvalho, Miami Dade Superintendent. He shared these 5 quick tips to transform education. We must work urgently as our students cannot wait!
5 quick tips to transform education- “There are no broken children”
- Leadership Matters
- Work on the edge, take risks!
- Data driven instructional leaders
- Differentiated instruction happens every classroom
- Effective teaching
- Teach children the subject matter, do not teach subject matter to the children
- Choice
- Digital convergence
- Reform happens fast! Our children cannot wait!
- Human Compassion
- Teaching without compassion lacks the connection of humanity
Other great resources we learned are from the Teaching Tolerance website. Take some time to check out the classroom resources here!
Remember one of BIG ROCKS is around oral academic language! As we think about how we are going to ensure that language objectives are posted in ALL classrooms, look to the Academic Language Toolkit to support you!
