Language and Literacy in the New Standards: Realizing Opportunities for English Learners

Keynote Address

Language and Literacy in the New Standards: Realizing Opportunities for English Learners Across the Curriculum (Audience: All) Keynote Speaker: Dr. George Bunch This talk provides an introduction to the language and literacy challenges associated with the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards—and how opportunities associated with those challenges can be realized for English Learners across the curriculum. Examples will be provided of how teachers can foster ELs’ language and literacy development in and through the curricular content, understandings, and practices at the heart of the new standards.

Changing Arts Educational Landscapes: Common Core for Technical Subjects and National Core Arts Standards Presenter: The California Arts Project Mystified by the relationship between your arts or career arts content and the California Common Core State Standards for Literacy in the Technical Subjects? Wondering what is happening with the developing National Core Arts Standards? The California Arts Project will begin to demystify these changes and point the way to resources to help you chart your course for implementation. Sponsored by: TCAP - The California Arts Project

Interdisciplinary Literacies: Engaging and Supporting Math and Science Teachers As They Analyze and Use the CCSS Presenters: Louann Baker and Tom Edwards CCWP co-director Louann Baker and Tom Edwards, former teacher and administrator, explore connections among Common Core, Math, Science, critical reading, and analytical writing: expect to have fun with hands- on strategies that work.

2 Unlocking the Knowledge in Complex Texts: Vocabulary and Reading Volume Presenter: Dr. Elfrieda Hiebert Words represent concepts, concepts are the basis of knowledge, and knowledge is presented in complex texts. To fully participate with complex texts, students need to develop a vibrant and generative vocabulary. They also need to read widely and deeply in texts that vary in complexity and topic. Dr. Hiebert will describe how vocabulary learning can be bolstered and how the amount that students read—and learn—can be increased in classrooms.

Proactive Strategies to Engage ALL Students in Effective Classroom Discussion (Audience: K-12) Presenter: Theresa Quinby, NUSD Teacher Leader and "Equity and Access" Coach Common Core standards expect students to engage in effective collaborative discussions in the classroom, but this expectation will not happen overnight. Successful discussion involving ALL students requires explicit teacher-led instruction and guidance to better ensure that students have a voice in the classroom community. This workshop will provide participants with a model lesson that integrates proactive strategies and structures that will encourage students to successfully engage in collaborative discussion and practice using academic vocabulary.

Playing with Science and Still Meeting the Standards (Audience: K-8) Presenter: Tom Medeiros, Lecturer UCSC. Participants will see how hands-on science investigations can easily work with the Common Core Standards and the new Next Generation Science Standards. A science lesson will demonstrate the integration of literacy and math skills. Sponsored by: Monterey Bay Science Project

3 How Do We Find the Time to Teach It All? Integration of Science, Language Arts and History Using the Education and the Environment Initiative (EEI) Curriculum (Audience K-12) Presenter: Amity Sandage, CREEC Network Coordinator This session will provide an overview and hands-on demonstration of how the EEI Curriculum uses the California environment as the context for integrating multiple subjects.

Teachers will receive a free class set of materials and DVD with all the materials. Sponsored by: Monterey Bay Science Project

Mathematics Workshops for Implementing CCSS (Audience: Elementary) What processes and proficiencies do the new CCSS-M standards ask us to develop in our students, and how can we do so? What kind of Professional Development do we want around the Common Core State Standards for mathematics (CCSS-M)?
