During this workshop, participants will explore language-based approach to TAKS preparation that takes into account an ELL's  need for more linguistic and cognitive test-taking strategies. Teachers will walk through the design of a five-session preparation program that gives students the opportunity to review and prepare for TEKS/TAKS content while subsequently allowing them to develop key test-taking skills that address their language needs. Participants will experience how the boot camp process builds confidence through a concrete-strategy approach.  This workshop is appropriate for teachers of students in TAKS grade levels (3-8).  A variety of content examples will be provided.  

Content area teachers, English langauge arts teachers, reading teachers, social studies teachers, ESL teachers, sheltered instruction teachers, elementary teachers, secondary teachers
