What is GLAD?

Project GLAD is a teaching model to promote English language acquisition, academic achievement, and cross-cultural skills. Tied to the Common Core State Standards and State Standards, the model trains teachers to provide access to core curriculum using local district guidelines and curriculum.

The four components of Project GLAD consist of the following:

Focus/Motivation (which is very similar to building background)
Input (ways to make cognitively complex concepts understandable to students)
Guided Oral Practice (practice of key vocabulary and language objectives)
Reading/Writing (modeled, shared, collaborative, guided and independent)
