Professional development

Depending on your faculty’s needs, I can develop a single or series of professional development workshops. The following are sample topics.

Pedagogy: develop supportive, culturally responsive, engaging pedagogies at the undergraduate, master’s, and/or doctoral levels.

Supporting Student Writing: develop structures to support student writing at the undergraduate, master’s, and/or doctoral levels.

Supporting Faculty Writing: develop understanding of the purposes and patterns of language in academic articles and other types of publication.

I can develop workshops or series of workshops depending on district need on the following:

Creating and supporting talk-rich lessons
Scaffolding language and literacy for multilingual learners across content areas
Theory into practice: how sociocultural theory can help us understand teaching and learning
Culturally and linguistically responsive and sustaining instruction
Developing a critical lens for your subject area
Teachers as Researchers: studying your own practice
Teachers as Researchers: Action research for improving student learning
Classroom Ecologies: Understanding your classroom/school as a complex system
