ASYNCHRONOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
SELF-PACED COURSES:
​
Supporting EL and Immigrant Students and Families: It's More than Just Language: ​Students who are learning English are more than just language learners – they are usually members of immigrant families who are navigating the complexities of acculturation, trauma, resettlement, and/or isolation while also building on their strengths and developing resiliency. In this course, we will examine our students’ and families’ strengths and needs with a holistic, social-emotional lens. Click here to register.
