This interactive in-person workshop for all educators who work with English learners (ELs) will explore the components of the WIDA Framework for Language Development Standards with a focus on academic language. Participants will engage in hands-on activities that dissect the WIDA Can Do philosophy, examine academic language, and consider the socio-cultural factors that influence language use. This workshop provides foundational awareness of the WIDA Framework and is designed for any educators that work with ELs.
