Kayci Bass
This class was great because I was able to apply so many strategies in my class right away. The strategies were things that were easy and applicable to my classroom. Also, the book was an easy read and one I can always refer back to.
Charlotte Parker
An excellent course. The book and the links to WIDA resources provided good ideas for ways to support and encourage multilinguals in the classroom. The instructor designed the course to encourage collaboration and reflection, and also gave timely and useful feedback.
Carla Bigum
If you are looking for a class regarding your multilingual students and writing, you will love the class. The coursework focuses on the traditional writing workshop model but with emphasis for students learning English. The strategies shared are many and can be implemented immediately. The coursework helps you reflect on your multilingual students who have wide ranging writing skills. You will appreciate the strategies available to each aspect of the writing workshop. The class, while following a schedule to post discussions and journal entries, is self-paced and would work with your teaching schedule.
