These network sessions will provide ELL coordinators and teachers with an opportunity to network and discuss burning issues and receive updates as it relates to serving English language learners in your district. Topics may include ELL classroom strategies, interpreting ACCESS for ELL exams, classroom resources, CESA 5 resources, district spotlights, DPI updates, and networking discussion time. The fall meeting will be offered as a mini data retreat focusing on ELLs in member districts. One of the goals of this network is to facilitate discussion and allow time for participants to network, ask questions, and develop new ideas from interacting with others in your field. Members are encouraged to submit their agenda items for discussion. Tentative agenda will be emailed 30 days prior to the meeting.
Following each meeting, participants may choose to participate in a book discussion exploring an ELL publication that has been selected by members. Participants will direct discussions and activities as it relates to topics addressed in the book.
