The workshop offered design principles for how classroom teachers and other educators can develop lessons and units that provide quality learning opportunities for English Learners, and all students, to engage in rigorous, meaningful, and well-supported tasks. 

Following presentation of exemplars from different subject areas, attending educators participated in small group brainstorming session to discuss possible curricular segments that applied the principles that had been presented to their own contexts.
