In order to best support the needs of diverse classrooms, the presentation included engaging activities and children’s literature examples that focused on comprehension and meaning-making through the use of integrated reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing and visually representing. The workshop provided strategies to address the needs of students of poverty and English language learners in diverse classrooms using balanced literacy within the workshop model.  The webinar addressed ways to use data to drive and differentiate instruction according to students’ linguistic needs within the workshop model.
