Participants in this workshop will delve into the importance of a high-level conceptual curriculum and its impact on student learning. Through interactive discussions and practical exercises, educators will explore the integration of language development alongside concept-based instruction. They will gain strategies to align language objectives and content objectives, ensuring that students develop the necessary language skills to engage deeply within complex college and career concepts across languages.

By focusing on a rigorous and concept-based curriculum, educators will strengthen their ability to bridge languages effectively. They will learn how to foster interdisciplinary connections and build on students' linguistic resources to cultivate deep understanding and critical thinking. Moreover, participants will explore methods of scaffolding, differentiation, and culturally responsive instruction to provide equitable access to content for all students, particularly English language learners.
