These monthly sessions provide timely professional development and information for directors and coordinators of programs for Multilingual English Learners (MLs) including Title III and Transitional Bilingual Instruction Programs. Participants will learn about a variety of topics for supporting MLs including supports and services for newcomer students and long-term English learners, use of WIDA ACCESS assessments, program development and evaluation, pre-referral processes for identification of MLs with disabilities, early literacy screening and intervention, dual language programs, and use of braided funding.

Sessions are repeated at 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each month. Participants can choose which time to attend. Clock hours are provided for only 1 hour per month.
