Our monthly ESOL PDs have been divided so that everyone can leave school buildings in time for COVID 19 cleaning processes and procedures. Our ESOL General Session is the second Tuesday of each month. Our ESOL Instructional Coaches provide PD on the third Tuesday of each month. For the Month of November, our General Session is November 10th and the IC sessions are November 17th. Looking forward to "seeing" all of you soon on Zoom!

November ESOL PD - Registration links
November ESOL PD - Registration links
Please make sure you register using the correct link for the session you plan to attend. This helps with the sign-in code during the session. For example, if you register for Secondary Newcomer Curriculum (Inside the USA), but attend Secondary Curriculum (Fundamentals 1 & 2 Levels A-C) then the sign-in code provided will not work for you. You then have to manually be added to the portal under the correct session and then awarded credit.
