In an effort to strengthen our sheltered instructional strategies and improve student academic achievement across the district, all teachers new to the district will participate in professional development opportunities throughout the year. These opportunities include online eWorkshops and face-to-face professional development provided by the CLDE Specialists to supplement the learning in the eWorkshops.
The professional development will be conducted through a partnership with the University of Colorado Denver and University of Nebraska Lincoln. Participants take time to explore research based, proven sheltered instructional strategies, apply these strategies in the classroom and reflect on their learning through online discussion and face-to-face meetings.
4 Face-to-face Classes (12 seat hours)

There are 6 ICMEE modules that you will complete this year. At the heart of this professional learning opportunity is a professional learning community (PLC) model of learning. While each workshop contains materials about best practices for culturally and linguistically responsive teaching, the most important part of this workshop is collaboration with peers around the essential learning and the work you do in your own classroom for emerging bilingual students.
Each module is comprised of three components plus face to face sessions with the CLDE district team. Those are described to the right.
