The second session in the School of Education Research Colloquium Series was held on October 19, 2011. Martha Adler (SOE Associate Professor) presented findings from her multi-year project with secondary school teachers in Dearborn Public Schools. In that project, which was supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Adler and her collaborators assisted teachers of secondary school subjects incorporate “sheltered instruction” techniques to assist students with limited proficiency in English. The study design, findings, and implications were presented and discussed with a diverse audience of UM-Dearborn faculty, staff and students.
The next colloquium in this series will be on November 9, 2011 at 4:30-6:00 p.m. in the School of Education conference room (252 FCS). Professors Mary Schleppegrell and Annemarie Palincsar, both from the School of Education at UM in Ann Arbor will report research related to the use of “functional grammar” to assist elementary school teachers in their work with English language learners.
Faculty and students from across the UM-Dearborn campus are invited to attend. Please visit the SOE Research Colloquium page for more information regarding dates, speakers, topics and updates: http://www.soe.umd.umich.edu/soe_research_colloquium.
