NC Standards Academy & MLs Summer Conference (East)

We will explore the research base behind the Project GLAD® model and how the brain learns. Participants will leave prepared to deliver content using high yield strategies that are beneficial for all students and essential for multilingual learners. These strategies are appropriate for all students regardless of grade level or academic needs.

Explore how AI-powered tools can support differentiated instruction by tailoring content to meet the diverse needs and preferences of your ML students. Learn how AI can help in real-time assessments, assist in creating personalized learning pathways that empower students to learn at their own pace. We'll explore LLMs and educational AI tools like MagicSchool, Diffit, Quizziz, Snorkl, and Eduaide and strategies consistent with Universal Design for Learning to ensure every student thrives.

This session will explore the use of high-impact instructional strategies to support multilingual learners at the secondary level in their engagement, interaction, critical thinking, and writing, as they build their content knowledge and language proficiency simultaneously. Participants will engage in strategies that focus on vocabulary instruction, distributed summarizing, discourse techniques and structured writing support. This session is appropriate for content teachers, ESL teachers, and instructional coaches.
