HV RBERN Professional Development

We will continue to bring together educators of ELLs during our ELL Connection virtual meetups in 2021. Each month, we bring together elementary and secondary educators of ELLs to share ideas, crowdsource questions, and talk about supporting students who are ELLs.

For five weeks in January and February, TESOL experts and participants from around the world will engage in collaborative online discussions or hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring participants together for a longer period of time than would be permitted by land-based professional development conventions and will allow a fuller development of ideas than is otherwise possible.

Sessions are free and open to anyone around the globe. It is not necessary to be a TESOL or IATEFL member nor to attend the TESOL. For more information click here.
