Guadalupe Valdés is the Bonnie Katz Tenenbaum Professor of Education at Stanford University. Her research has focused on the bilingualism of Latinos in the United States. Her current NSF-funded research is concerned with the design of New Generation Science Standards materials for students who are in the process of acquiring English.

Morning breakout sessions will follow the keynote address. Teachers have been assigned to rooms based on subject area and school site. Ravenswood City School District middle school teachers will join M-A, EPAA and Redwood HS teachers in morning breakout groups. Sequoia and Woodside High Schools will be grouped together. Carlmont teachers will meet at Carlmont in the morning to articulate with their partner schools. Room assignments have been sent to each school in a separate email.

In these sessions, teachers will have time to apply strategies to an upcoming lesson. Please come with a lesson in mind that you will be teaching within a few weeks of the new semester. It will be helpful if you bring a hard copy of your lesson or can access it electronically.

The morning breakout sessions were planned by an interdisciplinary group of SUHSD and Ravenswood teachers and will be facilitated by your colleagues. Thank you to all of the planners and facilitators for your incredibly hard work. Thank you in advance to attendees for your active participation!
