As part of our outreach efforts, we are offering free professional development for all K-12 Illinois educators. (Priority will be given to Illinois educators, but if you are an educator from outside the state and are interested in signing up, we will admit you if space permits.)
We offer two different interactive webinars (each 2 hours long, conferring 2 PDH):
Although our focus is Illinois teachers, so far we have had participants from all over the United States and even from as far away as China and Singapore.
Here’s what a few of them had to say
This was great as a teacher in a dual language school!
I find your work fascinating! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for organizing the workshop yesterday. I found it very well organized and informative. Also, I’m glad to see that there’s faculty like yourself taking steps to inform state teachers about the benefits of helping their students maintain their home language.
I aspire to do something similar for my community here in Tallahassee, Florida, where there’s a large Hispanic population that has no access to relevant information for them to foster their children’s bilingualism.
This is such important information for our communities!
Thank you for a great webinar, and especially for the relaxed pacing which let us all think along with you on the issues.
