EVENT DETAILS
Possible Dates of Event: November 9
Event/Conference Name (if applicable): Katy ISD ESOL ISST Cluster Meeting 2
Event Format (if applicable - Keynote, Workshop, both, etc.): PD on purchased materials
Will it be the same group of participants at each session?
I think we will need two sessions possibly 3. I would like to offer an overview of the
Tool Kit that is applicable to both primary and intermediate versions of the materials.
This would allow all the teachers to familiarize themselves with both versions of the
materials. If this is not possible – The participants would have to choose to attend
the Primary or Intermediate session, but would receive both sets of materials. I am
hoping the Scaffolding PD can be incorporated as well.
Each session would have approximately 60 teachers/paraprofessional. Please see
the chart below.
Presentation Times: Please see the chart below.
8:30 – 3:30
1.25 hour lunch
2X 10 minute breaks
Please note: Seminar training should be a full 6-hour day. We recommend 8:00am-3:00pm
with a 30-60 minute lunch break, mid morning and afternoon breaks. Speaker events are
available for full or partial days.
Goals & Expectations:
What are the most pressing or frequent concerns teachers express about providing adequate
literacy instruction in their settings? What are the most pressing needs for our work together?
When reviewing topics identified by the elementary campuses as targets for
improvement, Balanced Literacy (both primary & intermediate levels), Guided
Reading, improved vocabulary & reading comprehension instruction through
differentiated instruction were mentioned as campus goals across the district.
Additionally 5 elementary campuses have been identified as potentially failing to
meet academic standards for AYP in 2013 for LEP Reading. Based on these
identified campus needs, the Elementary ESOL Department has purchased the
following resources to assist campuses in meeting the literacy needs of their
students. We hope to provide professional development in the utilization of the
products purchased.

Instructional Programs in Use:
What are the most frequently used instructional & assessment models at each level?
(i.e. techniques form basal/reading anthologies, readers/writers workshop)
Please see the enclosed Articulation of the Language Art Instructional Practices in Katy ISD.
Audience Description & School Demographics:
Number of Participants Expected:
75 ESOL ISST teachers, 40 Paraprofessionals, 5 Facilitators and the Instructional
Officer for Elementary ESOL
The target audience consists of Elementary ESOL Instructional Support Teachers.
They are master teachers with at least 3 years classroom experience. They work with
the ELLs in the content classroom. They work collaboratively with the grade level
teachers in an inclusive model for the planning and delivery of language acquisition
and content instruction.
We are inviting those Paraprofessionals, who provide in-class support, to attend with
their supervising ESOL ISST.
Grade Levels/Position of Participants:
Elementary ESOL Instructional Support Teachers work with students in Kindergarten
through fifth grade. Katy ISD has a “push in” model for language acquisition
support. The majority of our teachers work directly with grade level content teachers
to support instruction in the classroom. Some work with small groups to provide
additional support on as needed bases.
What student demographics or characteristics present challenges in relation to literacy
instruction?
Katy ISD has a very diverse population. This diversity is demonstrated across the
district both demographically and economically. The participants will come from all
elementary campuses.
I am scheduling a Speaker Event and would like to request the following Speaker(s):
