This two-part eWorkshop is designed to support all K-12 educators who would like to explore the connection between the ACCESS Speaking Test and classroom practices that promote oral language development. In the webinars, participants will engage in meaning-making activities that provide ways to nurture students’ speaking growth. The eWorkshop is a self-paced module that allows for choice and control. Participants will be asked to speak and share ideas with colleagues within the virtual event.

By engaging in the eWorkshop, participants will:
• Apply the underpinnings of the Speaking Assessment to classroom practice.
• Connect the Key Language Uses to instructional practices in speaking.
• Explore the impact of holding the floor for extended classroom discourse.
• Choose Teacher Moves to support student voice.
• Develop an ear for language to support precision decisions.

This is the first session of a two-part webinar. The second webinar will take place on September 30, 2021. Please register here to receive webinar login information.
