Northern ENL PLC Presented at NYSTESOL Conference in Syracuse, NY
ESL Rural Mural was created for School Leaders
A FEW ENL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Northern Region ENL PLC began in 2012 when Laura Stevens (lstevens@oswego.org) agreed to lead the group for the purpose of providing support to ENL professionals who may feel isolated and alone in a small rural or suburban setting. A small group formed that quickly grew! Pat Marzola (pmarzola@westgenesee.org) took on the communications role. This group's desire is to continuously build and expand a culture of collaboration and community while increasing our sphere of influence with ENL professionals, students, families, the community, general education teachers and education leaders in Northern and Central New York.
