Academic Language and Literacy: Asset-Based Instruction for All Classrooms (2026–27)
Starting in June 2026
Academic Language and Literacy Community of Practice equips educators who support multilingual learners and students needing language development across all grade levels and content areas. This course focuses on asset-based instruction and the four domains of language—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—woven into rigorous, scaffolded lessons. Participants integrate the AVID College and Career Readiness Framework through diagnostic teaching and collaborative routines that strengthen student voice, agency, and access to academic content.
This session is available as a part of:
3-day professional learning hosted at 10 face-to-face locations across the United States during June and July that provides high-paced, interactive, dynamic professional learning while modeling engaging and rigorous instruction
2-day professional learning hosted at a face-to-face location across the United States yearlong provides an excellent way to broaden or deepen the ongoing improvement of instruction and comprehensive culture of student success within your school setting.
