The ESD 105 Multilingual Symposium is an opportunity for educators, administrators and school communities to expand our collective knowledge and learn from experts on topics such as effective dual language programs, neurological growth and restructuring during adolescence, planning with the WIDA framework, and implementing evidence-based instructional practices. Our featured speaker, Dr. John Medina, will guide us through the fascinating mechanics of the adolescent brain and highlight how this phase of cognitive growth is a unique opportunity to increase both academic and linguistic skills, while nurturing emotional intelligence and a sense of agency by honoring student voice. Based upon his book, Attack of the Teenage Brain: Understanding and Supporting the Weird and Wonderful Adolescent Learner, Dr. Medina will unlock the mysteries of the teenage brain and highlight how instruction can better meet the needs of our multilingual learners. The symposium will also include a panel discussion from national, state, and local instructional leaders who will share their insights on establishing and promoting effective dual language programs. Break out sessions will include presentations on topics such as collaboration and co-planning, implementation of the WIDA framework, understanding what the Science of Reading means for multilanguage learners and instructional strategies from the OCDE Project GLAD® model. The Multilingual Symposium will be an enlightening series of presentations and discussions that will provide guidance, answer questions and increase our capacity to seize everyday as an opportunity to accelerate learning for our multilingual learners.
