CONNTESOL 2008 PROPOSAL FORM

The deadline for proposals has been extended until June 30, 2008.

Having trouble thinking of a topic to present? Here are a few ideas that have already been suggested:

• Difference or disability--how to tell if an ELL has special needs
• How to plan collaboratively with mainstream teachers using the CT ELL standards
• How to teach reading to ELLs...writing...problem solving in math
• Online/distance learning
• Which service delivery model is most effective for ELLs--"push-in" or pull-out"?
• Teaching on the go--how does an itinerant teacher manage more than one assigned school?
• How to overcome scheduling issues
• Using new communication technology (blogs, podcasts, text messaging, etc.) in the classroom
• What modifications to the Reader's Workshop model best serve the needs of ELLs
• Developing critical thinking skills and independent learning techniques for academic success
