Kick off to English Language Learner ELL Network: Teachers & Support Staff

Kick-Off for English Language Learner ELL Network: For ELL Teachers and Support Staff, April 27, 2017, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Are you an EL specialist currently in the classroom looking for innovative ideas, strategies, curricula, and just options to brainstorm and network with other EL specialists?  Here’s your chance…this session is a prequel to the 2017-18 school year network where you can share your ideas and insights from and to your classroom. 

We invite you to join our Spring Kick Off session to introduce and outline the session series of networks for you. Don’t miss this session…you’ll walk away with new connections and strategies to use in your EL class immediately, and identify themes and must-haves for subsequent sessions!

This Network will:

* Provide a networking opportunity for all area EL teaching specialists

* Share, learn, and develop new and innovative EL instructional ideas

* Go deeper in becoming an advocate from the EL classroom to district level decision makers

* Analyze and discuss current trends in curriculum, SLIFE, and progress monitoring
