Previous Professional Development

January General Session Links and Information

Thank you all for attending our PD on Tuesday, January 12th!  It was great to see all of your faces!  We know we are in the midst of ACCESS testing.  Celebrate that many of you have lots of STCs and TAs helping you this year.  The hope is to complete the test more efficiently and get everyone back to TEACHING! Thank you for all your dedication and support!  Below are all the links to the resources from the session. NOTE:  The questions in the Google Form were related to ACCESS and are mostly for STCs.  The answers to a few other questions will be provided in the February General Session.

Upcoming Professional Development

For the month of February, we will have our General ESOL Session as usual the Second Tuesday of the month.  Links and information to come.  We will not have Professional Development from our ESOL ICs until March.   This will allow everyone a break and be supported during ACCESS Testing. 

Highlights

REMINDER:  If you have not completed the following, please do so ASAP! 

2021-2022 ESOL Intent Form

Recently the district sent a general intent form for all principals and supervisors to share with their schools and offices for certified staff.  The ESOL program works a little differently in that locations and allocations change according to student number and need.  We need more information to help us plan for the upcoming school year.  Please complete the ESOL Intent Form below if you have not.  I will be using this information to make plans during the month of February and March.  Please include all information that might help with program planning (including preferences of virtual vs. brick and mortar, location, part time vs. fulltime, etc.)  Thank you for all you do!
