This webinar was the fourth of a series of webinars designed to provide an opportunity to engage with national experts in an interactive learning process centered on adolescent literacy best practices used in traditional content-area classrooms in grades 4-12. This webinar, presented by Dr. Robin Scarcella, Professor in the School of Humanities at the University of California at Irvine, discussed the challenges that students face when they cannot understand content instruction or participate in classroom discussion because they lack academic language skills. Dr. Scarcella also provided some recommendations for addressing these challenges. The PowerPoint is available for download below, and the archived WebEx file can be accessed here.
