Teacher Education Workshop- Reaching Las Estrellas: Connecting to ELLS & Families
4:30 pm-6 pm
Virtual
Ms. Anna Morgan, former UW-Parkside adjunct, hosts a two session virtual workshop on getting to know and connect with your English Language Learners and their families. These sessions will focus on understanding the basics of language acquisition and levels of English your students may have, building rapport, and practical ways to assist students in the classroom.
Our second session will focus on using assessments for students with varying levels of English. We will also differentiate between students who may need further support due to lack of English fluency versus those who may need academic support due to a learning disability.
Anna Morgan is an educator passionate about reaching second language learners and students with unique abilities. She worked many years in Milwaukee Public Schools in the areas of language immersion, DUAL language and Special Education. For the past 5 years, Ms. Morgan has enjoyed teaching educators at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. She currently is spending time with her children and provides pro-bono English translation.
