Program: Institute at Gonzales High School: CRLP UCSC SALT Intensive #3 (Secondary Academic Language Tools)

Secondary Academic Learning Tools intensive day 3 training.

SALT
Institutes were developed to provide secondary teachers with tools and
instructional strategies designed to help them incorporate academic
language development and reading comprehension strategies into their
daily curriculum in order to increase student content literacy and
provide access to and use of academic language. Participants learn how
to use content-specific assessments and strategies to make academic
content-area text more accessible to all their students, particularly
English learners. The program consists of five modules. The first
module includes theory and research and a number of text analysis and
lesson planning tools. The additional four modules are organized by
strategies for vocabulary, writing, comprehension, and functional
language. Each of the strategy modules represents 10 hours of
professional development. After the first module, schools or districts
may contract for an additional one to four modules, or 10-40 hours of
professional development.
