From Beach Parties to Bears Love Trees, libraries are in a unique position to support the EL ELA curriculum at the elementary level, giving students the opportunity to expand their learning and explore the EL modules in multiple ways. During the session attendees will have the opportunity to participate in EL protocols, and we will share some of our successes and failures as we navigated our first year of the EL ELA curriculum in Poudre School District, and provide attendees with a virtual toolkit of ideas they can take back and implement in their programming. We will also look at collection development and how to get the most bang for your buck when building a collection that supports all students.
Learning Outcomes:- Attendees will be able to explore multiple ways that the library can support and integrate the EL ELA curriculum both in the library and in the classroom and will leave with ideas that can be applied to their own programming.
- Attendees will be able to investigate and explore the Elementary EL ELA curriculum and participate in EL Protocols that can be used in the library.
- Attendees will be able to explore and recognize ways in which the library can collaborate with classroom teachers on the EL Curriculum.
