Project GLAD®, A Pathway to Biliteracy
Presenters: Diana Pinkston-Stewart, Natalie Olague, and Kathleen Salgado

Does dual language teaching sometimes feel like nailing jelly to a wall? DL teachers are tasked with developing their students' academic knowledge and linguistic skills in and across two languages with no additional time in their schedule and often a lack of quality materials in the non-English language. Join us in this interactive workshop to learn how Project GLAD® strategies provide the perfect vehicle for developing high levels of content knowledge through a biliteracy lens.

Getting the Most Out of the Preschool GLAD® Narrative Input Chart While Teaching Remotely or In-person
Presenters: Laurie Magill and Ines Perez

The Preschool GLAD® Narrative Input Strategy is a powerful tool for early oral language development of our youngest learners. Come see how you can make the most of this strategy by extending it into independent learning centers through story matching and reconstructing the narrative story, the oral sentence patterning chart, the ABC Chant, and the Picture File Sort. This is a great match for early childhood educators (PK-1) who are new to Preschool GLAD® or are already trained in the model. This will be a working session and is applicable to teachers teaching remotely as well as those in schools with students.

Each Session will be held from 9 am - 1 pm Mountain Standard Time.
PST 8 am - 12 pm
CST 10 am - 2 pm
EST 11 am - 3 pm
