Argumentation and Student Discourse

Module 3 presents a deep dive into high leverage standards that reflect the shifts discussed in Module 1. Participants will build a rich understanding of the interplay between ELP Standard 4 (argumentation) and ELP Standard 2 (student discourse). As a culmination of learning, each team of participants will develop plans for leading the shift to new standards in their home schools and districts.

 

Outcomes

Participants will be able to apply learning from modules 1 and 2 to deepen their understanding of argumentation (ELP Standard 4) and student discourse (ELP Standard 2). They will also be able to describe and explain the pedagogical shifts for English learner students and the organization, purpose, and use of the ELP Standards, and develop an initial plan for instructing colleagues in their home schools and districts in the shifts and the ELP Standards.
