2008 CREATE Conference

Math, Science, and Social Studies:
A Focus on English Language Learners in Middle School

October 6-7, 2008
Millennium Hotel, Minneapolis

The language processes required to comprehend mathematics, science
experiments, and explanations of historical events are challenging,
even for students who speak English as their first language. For
English language learners, these demands can be particularly high.
What techniques does recent research identify as effective for English
language learners in specific content areas? Join us as leading
researchers present findings on the features of instruction that
support English language learners in science, social studies, and
mathematics.

This conference is intended for instructional leaders in state and
regional agencies, school districts, schools, colleges of education,
and publishing companies. The conference supports participants
learning with: essential readings on the central themes of the
conference (mailed in advance), keynote presentations, question-and-
answer sessions with presenters, and small group interactions with
colleagues.
