The 15th Annual Language Series
Join us for the Saturday Workshops!
Participants will select two workshops to attend on Saturday, after the Keynote speech by Celia Genishi. One workshop is called Integrating Content/Expanding Language: Young Children Wonder, Learn, and Talk About Their World.

First, facilitators Susan and Celia will share language stories—along with theories and research—in classrooms that illustrate integrated content learning, including ones with emergent bilingual learners. Then, working together, we will try out some curricular planning and implementation that is “open” for talk. Finally, participants will imagine and share ways that they might be able to develop and enact such curriculum in their own contexts.
Focus on Ages: 0 - 8 Years Old
Facilitators: Celia Genishi and Susan Stires
