This professional learning workshop series is a collaboration between the Ulster, Dutchess, and Sullivan BOCES School Library Systems, and the Hudson Valley Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (HV RBERN). School Librarians and ENL teachers working together can provide powerful learning opportunities and resources for ELLs and their families. We invite you to attend this workshop series to learn more about each other's area of expertise and begin building a new partnership that benefits your ELLs. School Librarians and ENL teachers should register to attend together as a team for all sessions. Teams will collaborate to develop a special event or new initiative for ELLs that includes literacy components and recognition of their students' achievements. Participants will be provided with strategies and support to help them develop a strong foundation for a successful partnership.
