YOU ARE INVITED TO AN ONLINE EVENT WestEd's SchoolsMovingUp website will feature another free Online Event, "English Learner Literacy Development through Formative Assessment of Oral Language," on Wednesday, October 8, from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time (1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Alison Bailey, Associate Professor in the Department of Education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Margaret Heritage, Assistant Director for Professional Development at the National Center for Research Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA will present an approach to literacy development for English learners which stresses the kinds of oral language that are foundational to reading. They will discuss formative assessment of language skills as a key element in both oral language and reading development, and provide practical illustrations of how formative assessment can be used in the classroom. See the Online Events page on SchoolsMovingUp for further information, including specific topics to be addressed by this event, at the link below. HOW IT WORKS The Online Event is a combined PowerPoint presentation and conference call. There are two ways to participate — by Web telecast or by teleconference. The Web telecast option requires that you have access to an Internet connection and a phone line at the same time. During the Web telecast, you will see slides displayed on your computer screen as you hear the presenter's voice over the phone line. You will be able to participate in online polls and questions, view related Web sites and resources, and ask questions by typing in the chat window. For the teleconference option, you'll download the PowerPoint presentation in advance and follow along while listening to the presenter over the phone. **Note: If you have special access needs (e.g., you have a hearing impairment and need special arrangements made to access the audio,) please let us know ASAP so we can make the appropriate arrangements. REGISTRATION To sign up for this event, please visit http://www.schoolsmovingup.net/events/ellformative and select "Sign Up." You will then be prompted to login or register for free on the site as needed. If you plan to participate via the Web telecast option, you will need to "Run the Wizard" to ensure that your computer can handle the Web telecast. If you would prefer to participate via teleconference, you can instead join the conference call and download the PowerPoint presentation, which will be available the day before the event. Registered participants will receive an email notification when the slide portion of the presentation is posted. The message will also contain further instructions for participating. If you are unable to participate in the live event, you may view an archive, which will be available beginning the day after the event.
