News events related to immigration and ESL/bilingual education occur regularly. Why is it important for educators to be aware of these events? How do these events impact teaching and learning in our classrooms?
In this module’s Application, you will design a one-hour professional development workshop on a current events topic (within the last 5 years) related to immigration or ESL/bilingual education and its impact on linguistically and culturally diverse students. You will locate an article from a newspaper, national magazine, or news website addressing the topic and incorporate the information in a one-hour professional development workshop for colleagues. You may present to a small group of teachers or the entire faculty to obtain feedback on your presentation.
You will also apply your research skills to locate and incorporate information in your response from a scholarly, professional source outside the course. You should cite the source in APA format in your response with a full APA bibliography reference at the end of the response.
