Did you know that in the School District of Waukesha there are many ways to continue and grow your servant leaders for Academic Language Learners and Emergent Bilinguals?

Throughout the school year there are several opportunities to engage in ongoing learning to support your service:

August 21: Teaching for Biliteracy 1 and 2
A full day session intended for those who SERVE teachers who SERVE Dual Language Learners 
Audience: Leaders (Administrators, Coaches, Teachers, Coordinators)
This session addresses deeper levels of Dual Language implementation in our District and introduces participants to the significant shifts in thinking and practice that is essential to success with learners.
Two books are required and provided, along with pre-reading preparation.

Any Time, Self Paced, Online: Dual Language Essentials
13 online modules with readings and discussion posts. Individuals, individuals leading small groups or collective/collaborative participation are all possible.
Audience: Leaders (Administrators, Coaches, Teachers, Coordinators, Aides)
These sessions introduce and deepen our knowledge around leading in mutilingual environments (ie. every school in Waukesha).  Each discussion post prepares the participants for the actual work of leading, rather than theorizing.
The online course can be facilitated by a leader bring a team through the modules, or my partners or individuals.

TDP: Success with Academic Language Learners and Emergent Bilinguals
3 TDP sessions offered in January
Audience: Leaders (Administrators, Coaches, Teachers, Coordinators, Aides)
These sessions help leaders to understand the affective and linguistic considerations they need to be present to when ensuring learning for those who are multilingual.  Special emphasis on the multilingual student population who is also learning English as their partner language.
