Description

Motivating middle and high school students to work hard on hours-long ELP assessments can be tricky, particularly for long-term ELs who have taken the exams many times. Students may click through quickly or write one-word essays, creating frustration all around.

Breaking this cycle isn’t magic. Join us to unpack the issues that contribute to low test motivation, and co-create a plan for empowering students to understand their language development and drive their own success.

Participants receive sample lesson plans and a backward planning guide to bring the magic to their own school or district.
