Design and implement thematic units for learning
Draw from content and language standards to set targets for all students
Examine standards-centered materials for academic language
Collaborate in planning instruction and assessment within and across lessons
Consider linguistic and cultural resources of the students
Create differentiated content and language objectives
Delve deeply into instructional strategies involving academic language
