Building Collaboration Among Educators Who Work with English Language Learners

This two-part workshop will help ESOL teachers, classroom teachers, and paraprofessionals learn valuable tools in working together to meet the needs of the English Language Learners they serve. Participants will be engaged in research-based strategies to create effective lesson plans and activities for their English Language Learners. There will be time for educators to collaborate to design activities to meet the needs of their ELLs and opportunities to create plans for serving them effectively. There will be a variety of authentic resources, assessment techniques, parental involvement activities, paraprofessional ideas, and cultural awareness activities shared throughout the workshop.
