GLAD Next Gen^™ is three non-consecutive days within a hands-on, learner-centered environment, which can be provided as an introduction to OCDE Project GLAD^® strategies, a refresher, or follow-up for educators. GLAD Next Generation^® focuses on the most salient OCDE Project GLAD^® strategies to groups of educators in an action-research based learning environment. 

This truncated training is designed to focus on instructional moves that align with the findings from John Hattie’s analysis in Visible Learning, language acquisition research, and meet the linguistic demands within the WIDA ELD Framework.  Educators will deepen their knowledge about how language is acquired and will learn strategies that promote language development. Teachers will also practice using the focus strategies within their own classroom and bring samples of their implementation of the strategies to the next session as an opportunity to reflect on the student learning outcomes.  

This training is also being offered March 13, April 10 and June 1, 2023.
