POSTPONED: CRLP Institute: Spanish-English Biliteracy Transfer

The SEBT Institute will be postponed until the Fall of 2020. Please contact crlp@callutheran.edu to be put on the contact list for the fall event.

Join fellow teachers in a two-day institute to learn how to effectively promote Spanish-to-English biliteracy transfer (SEBT).

SEBT provides guidance for teachers as they help their students reach grade-level biliteracy in both Spanish and English. This institute offers an instructional approach based on what students have learned in Spanish and the level of transferability of skills/concepts between Spanish and English. SEBT includes assessments specifically designed to support the transferability of foundational reading skills.

The SEBT Institute addresses the Common Core State Standards, Common Core en Español, the CA ELD Standards and the CA ELA/ELD Framework. Training will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Attendance required on both days of training.

Cost

$375 per participant (includes all materials, lunch on your own)
