NC Standards Academy & MLs Summer Conference (East)

Influenced by practices from frameworks like Reading Apprenticeship and SIOP, this session aims to provide a variety of strategies for teaching students how to annotate texts. These strategies are for all students, ML or not, newcomer or long-term ML. By implementing strategies such as Vocabulary Self-Selection, Circle Maps, and deep dives with repeated reading, you can provide your students with access to higher-level texts, cover more ground with less time, reduce the volume of explicit teaching, and allow students a chance to demonstrate their own capabilities independently.

This workshop introduces the new support tools for the 2024 K-12 Standard Course of Study (SCoS) for Healthful Living. Participants will explore the new SCoS for Healthful Living and dig into the support tools, like the glossaries, crosswalks and unpacking documents that are available for all grade levels in both Health and Physical Education. We’ll wrap-up with an overview of the 2025-2026 Implementation timeline for the SCoS for Healthful Living as we move toward initial implementation using the new standards starting in Fall 2025

In this session, we will explore a variety of instructional strategies aligned with the Healthful Living Standards to enhance learning opportunities for Multilingual (ML) students. These methods will focus on developing skills related to physical activity and overall health and well-being.

Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs empower multilingual learners by providing equitable access to education in multiple languages while fostering success in culturally diverse environments. To maximize student achievement, educators must implement research-based practices supporting academic and social-emotional growth. This session will explore best practices for supporting multilingual learners in DLI settings, with a special focus on teaching for biliteracy, ensuring students develop strong literacy skills in both program languages. Participants will gain practical strategies to enhance instruction and promote language development across content areas.
