A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As an ESL educator, I know I benefit most when learning is both practical and related to the specific needs of my ELL students. As a learner, I know my most memorable and meaningful learning experiences come from opportunities where I get to learn, share, reflect, and contribute to how the learning will work for my own classroom or position in education.

It is my goal as a presenter to engage you in making learning meaningful and applicable to your life in the classroom working with ELL students. I have found that many of the strategies that work in engaging students are the best strategies to model when presenting to teachers. In this seminar, you’ll have ample opportunities to build on and apply your existing strategies in a more effective way to increase English language skills and continue to build on grade-level learning opportunities to help close the achievement gap for your ELL students.
Throughout the seminar, I will share with you many proven ways you can teach grade-level content and develop English language skills simultaneously.

I look forward to meeting you at the seminar and sharing with you many practical strategies and useful resources you will be able to use immediately in your own classroom.

Sincerely,
