HV RBERN Professional Development

The HV RBERN will be running a virtual professional development All Teachers are Teachers of ELLs PD Camp from June 1 through June 30, 2021 to support educators as they continue to build capacity in meeting the needs of ELLs in their schools and classrooms. The camp will feature multiple workshops on ELL-related topics; participants will select workshops that best meet their needs. This camp is open to all district and school administrators, classroom and content area teachers, ENL teachers, bilingual education teachers, teaching assistants, and other school personnel. Successful completion of individual workshops will result in CTLE credits; credits per workshop will vary. Further information for accessing individual workshops will be provided to those who register for the camp via this MLP link.
