Receive a comprehensive overview of the program to understand how it supports and develops English Learners’ abilities to write journalistic articles
Experience the standards-aligned curriculum's critical instructional strategies and routines to develop oral and written language
Examine key aspects of the curriculum that foster EL's engagement and interaction through analysis of video lessons
