We know the number of language learners in our region changes year to year and district to district. Rather than waiting to react when the newt wave arrives, let's get ahead of the curve! That's where the Educational Excellence (EdEx) team comes in.
This spring and summer, we're rolling out two high-impact trainings designed to help you prioritize what matters most and collaboratively map out a plan that ensures every language learner gets consistent, high-quality instruction-no matter where they start or where they go next.
*Training 1: Prioritization of Standards (June 12)
Get crystal clear on what students must know and do to succeed.
Align across districts and grades so there are no gaps or redundancies.
Why This Matter: Instead of playing catch-up, we'll work proactively to ensure our region is set up for long-term success.
