Description

This workshop is designed for educators who teach or support English language development in social studies. This workshop will focus on the use of student and class assets to plan inquiry-based instruction. Through readings, interactions, and videos, participants will identify the benefits and investigate the components of an inquiry approach. Additionally, participants will explore how to consider the content and language needs of multilingual learners in social studies. 

Participants will: 

• Identify ways to leverage multilingual learners’ assets to support their learning in inquiry-based approaches for social studies 

• Recognize the benefits of using an inquiry approach in social studies to strengthen disciplinary reasoning and skills 

• Investigate questions, tasks, and sources as a way to support multilingual learners in becoming increasingly effective as they use language to make meaning in an inquiry

This course is open to K-12 Washington public school educators only.   Private schools who have opted into Federal Title III services may also take this course.  Contact your school administrator for details.
