Joining Forces:
This full day workshop will discuss how a cooperation between an ELA and LS teacher resulted in building a Middle School skills program. The first session of the workshop will be a combined 75 minute presentation with the EAL Working Group and then we will split into separate groups for a more in-depth focus.
This workshop is ideal for educators/administrators seeking to foster a more structured and supportive learning environment for students, combining multiple grade levels. We hope to demonstrate how successfully working and planning together (between departments) can lead to teacher-driven change.
In response to students' growing challenges in developing essential academic skills, BIS introduced a structured program to strengthen writing, reading, routines, and research skills. This initiative aimed to establish a common language and consistent teaching expectations across classrooms, ensuring all students receive the support they need.
