The ELL Network is a forum for district personnel to discuss issues related to the education of English Learners. Though these sessions are the primary means of sharing information throughout the ESU 4 Title III Consortium, a majority of our time together is devoted to studying effective instruction, sharing and exploring resources, learning of updates from NDE, and networking with colleagues. We welcome educators interested in our multilingual students, regardless of Title III affiliation or position.

Essentials for New/ish EL Educators
This was a brand new opportunity for educators who are new (or within the first few years) of supporting English Learners. We welcomed 49 educators including administrators, coordinators, teachers, and paraeducators. We explored a variety of helpful resources and learned about EL essentials such as stages of language acquisition, Rule 15, ELPA21, Nebraska English Language Standards, and more.
