Math/Science Train-the-Trainer Workshop: Enhancing Grade-Level STEM Instruction for All Through a Multilingual Lens (June 2026)
The DESE Office of Language Acquisition has engaged MATSOL to develop a two day in-person train-the-trainer workshop for content teachers and ESL teachers to plan collaboratively to implement the WIDA 2020 Standards into ELA and Social Studies lessons based on the MA content frameworks. This will expand a similar project by the DESE STEM team focusing on math and science.

Participants will explore both the WIDA Framework and the relevant MA content frameworks and have time to collaboratively develop lesson plans incorporating both. Attention will be focused on critical areas such as language objectives. Participants can earn 15 PDPs in SEI or ESL required for licensure renewal.

To participate, districts must send a team of at least one content teacher (math or science) and one ESL teacher. In addition, as this is a train-the-trainer model, participants must commit to providing the training to their district/school staff, or partnering with other districts to provide the training locally, at least once in SY25-26. 

Date & Time
In person workshop on Thursday, June 11 and Friday, June 12, 2026 from 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM plus 3 hour online facilitator training on June 25, 2026 from 4:00 - 5:30 PM

Location
UMASS Dartmouth, Dartmouth, MA
