BSD’s Department of Multilingual Learners and the VT EL Leaders Collaborative are partnering on a FREE professional learning opportunity next month.
Join us for “Come to the Table,” an opportunity to come together, connect, share resources, and strengthen support for immigrant and refugee families through a day of roundtable conversations and other collegial activities. We welcome you to participate in two related but separate activities on the following days:
(1) Friday, May 1st, 3:00-6:00pm: Meet at Saint Michael’s College in the Roy Room of the Dion Center for a welcome, mingle, and debrief of visits or online videos of VT colleagues teaching. (Three hours of PL credit hours.)
(2) Saturday, May 2nd, 8-3:30pm: Meet at Saint Michael’s College in the Roy Room and other spaces in the Dion Center for a welcome, featured speaker(s), and several sessions of roundtable discussions with colleagues and collaborators, students, and family members. (Six hours of PL credit hours.)
Please know that this conference (and the PD hours!) is not just for EL teachers, but ALL teachers are welcome and will feel included and equipped to engage… we promise!
Want to do more than just attend? Here are two more ways you can be involved.
1) We are also looking for volunteers to host a classroom visit on Friday, May 1st, and/or create a short video to share with colleagues that shows your teaching and learning environment in action. Learn more/volunteer today.
2) Be a discussion leader! During the round table discussions, keep the conversation going. No experience necessary. Contact Miriam by email (mcating@bsdvt.org) or sign up to lead a session today!
