Join us as we welcome back Steve Gill, school psychologist, educational consultant, and creator/co-author of the ELL Critical Data Process.

With more than 30 years of experience in schools, Steve specializes in the evaluation of multilingual learners and in helping educators distinguish language acquisition from potential disability.

Through this series, educators will explore and deepen their understanding of the relationship between acculturation, belief systems, practices, and results. The series addresses multilingual learner eligibility for special education services and the issues specific to multilingual English language learners (ELLs) that arise during eligibility determination.

Participants will attend virtually and will learn how to complete the ELL Critical Data Process as they:

• Explore strategies for gathering and analyzing critical data to assess ELL students effectively
• Gain practical tools for supporting ELLs in academic settings while considering their unique linguistic and cultural backgrounds
• Learn how to adopt an asset-based approach to evaluation
• Engage in interactive discussions and case studies to apply the framework in real-world scenarios

Who Should Attend

Sessions are open to a range of educator roles, including:

• Instructional Coaches
• Instructional Leaders/Administrators
• Special Education Coordinators
• ELD/ESL/LIEP Administrators
• General Educators
• Special Educators
• Speech-Language Pathologists
• Other Related Service Providers

Professional Development Credit

During the course, participants will deepen their understanding of the MA framework for educator evaluation and develop a common language to define effective instruction. Through the use of practice exercises, videos, case studies, readings, discussion, and coaching sessions, participants will develop instructional leadership skills to:

• name, explain, and document effective instruction;
• communicate effectively about pedagogical practices that impact student learning to provide teachers with detailed feedback in order to promote a continued cycle of professional growth;
• develop and reinforce professional practice that engages instructional leaders and their colleagues in meaningful, student-focused conversations about best practice and maintains an open feedback loop;
• utilize a wide range of data points about student learning in teacher goal setting and benchmarking to indicate measures of growth and success.

This series is open to a range of roles, including Instructional Leaders/Administrators, Instructional Coaches, and others growing their practice around evaluation, coaching, and effective feedback.

For MA Educators, Cape Cod Collaborative will award PDPs. There is also an option to earn graduate credit. Details will be provided at the first session.
