Is it a language difference blocking the evidence?
The Investigation Strategy: We aren't running language drills in a separate interrogation room anymore.
CBLI reopens the cold case by investigating language directly inside the content area.
The Evidence Gathering:
Dual Objective: Every lesson serves a double purpose—teaching core academic content while simultaneously building vocabulary, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
Scaffolding Clues: Detectives use sentence frames, visual evidence, and graphic organizers to make complex content accessible without lowering expectations.
Cracking the Case: Students practice academic language in real-time with ELPS support, giving them the tools to solve complex academic problems and make TELPAS gains.
Step into the role of lead detective, grab the ultimate CBLI strategy toolkit, and turn your toughest language mysteries into closed cases. Don't leave your instruction to guesswork—join the investigation.
