Substantive and enduring professional growth rarely occurs without high quality professional development. Teachers want the best for all students. They are willing to dedicate significant time and energy to give their students the tools that will allow them to live their dreams while simultaneously becoming valuable contributors to our society. Accelerating Minds With Language, and its founder Catherine Brown, has from its inception focused upon providing teachers with the tools to excel in serving culturally and linguistically diverse students. Many teachers are delighted to find that our seminars have simultaneously deepened their effectiveness with all students, not just English language learners (ELL).
All seminars are specifically tailored to meet your staff’s unique needs. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Also visit Catherine on her blog! Check out her bookmarks- acceleratingminds del.icio.us account Register for her distance courses through Antioch University |
School district administration and academic support services want to ensure that professional staff development opportunities will be well received by busy teachers. We equip teachers to successfully provide instruction featuring practical, research-based strategies for comprehensible input, content-based sheltered instruction (SDAIE / SIOP), English language development (ELD / ESOL / ESL), effective reading and writing across language proficiencies, a differentiated curriculum, metacognition, developing higher order thinking skills, effective student interaction and engagement, multiple intelligences, effective assessment, and cultural awareness and sensitivity.
