Saturday, November 11, 2023
2:30 PM – 3:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado J
Equitably spotting talent in gifted English learners (ELs) remains a language-based challenge. A dynamic (rather than static) approach for eliciting advanced behaviors can help. Learn ready-to-use dynamic strategies to elicit EL talent behaviors through relevant EL accommodations, cultural considerations, open-ended tasks, prompts to engage learners, and probes to delve into student thinking as illustrated through the example of mathematics.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will understand the approach for and benefits of using a dynamic approach for spotting talent in gifted English learners.
  • Attendees will learn the strategic use of prompts to enhance gifted English learner engagement challenges and probes to delve into gifted English learners’ advanced thinking.
  • Attendees will consider linguistic and cultural considerations of gifted English learners to determine accommodations to enhance academic English vocabulary acquisition and meaningful task engagement.
