A Message from Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

If you are like me, you feel strongly for that ELL student in your classroom, struggling daily to keep up with content understanding and literacy growth. No matter what you try, nothing seems to connect their native language intelligence with successful academic performance in English. You have tried somewhat helpful curriculum-based strategies, but those skills alone have not effectively helped your student to harness all the ideas contained in academic language and transfer them into their own functional use. You know in your heart that academic vocabulary knowledge and skills can unlock success for this student, but you need a better path to get there.

This unique one-day seminar provides just that! I am prepared to share with you a variety of highly practical strategies you can use immediately to enable your ELL students to better understand the content and concepts you are teaching. Accessing multisensory learning skills and a focused approach to word meaning will help your students improve their reading and listening comprehension and foster longer term memory retention. This seminar is designed to give you practical strategies you can use in your classroom immediately.

Please join me for a day packed with powerful ways to get your ELL students working at their full potential. I look forward to meeting you at the seminar and sharing our passion for teaching young English learners!

Sincerely,
Christi Gilbert

P.S. My entire emphasis will be on PRACTICAL strategies you can immediately implement with your own ELL students!
