December ESOL General Session
December ESOL General Session
Thank you all for attending our PD on Tuesday, December 8th! It was great to see all of your faces! We would like to stress that the focus should always be on instructing our ELs and supporting families. Now is the time to dig deep (if you have not already) and teach the curriculum. At the Elementary level, students are using Lexia AND Rosetta Stone English. At the Secondary level, students are fully in the curriculum and using Comprehension Coach to practice fluency and comprehension. For all parent of ELs, make sure they know about the Family Connections aspect of Rosetta Stone. Every parent of an EL that wants to use a license to learn English can do so! Thank you for all your dedication and support! Below are all the links to the resources from the session.

Rosetta Stone English (Elementary)
Rosetta Stone English (Elementary)
The Rosetta Stone company has made some updates that affect the use of the program on iPads. There are technology updates that need to occur if the students are using the program on an iPad. We would expect that most students if not all use the program on a Chromebook/laptop. Please complete the following Google Form by December 14th so we can plan any support needed.
