¡Sí se Puede! Yes, you Can!

Spring has sprung and summer is in our headlights. Let's finish strong. This newsletter is for ALL educators of every subject to help give you support and ideas to empower you and your students. Please subscribe at the bottom to keep you informed and inspired.

As TELPAS wraps up in March, my brain shifts to next year. Part of that is deciding what summer PD to offer to best support your amazing work for 2021-22. Gen Ed, CTE, elective content and paras can find something to equip you to engage our students. These all meet for about an hour in a Google Meets to kick off. The rest is self-paced in Google classroom at home. Eduphoria links can be found in the pages of this document to register.

*"ESL Academy" →For certified teachers needing ESL Certification.

* "Sheltered Instruction 101" →The 8 Components best for all students for success

* Sheltered Instruction 201

"Add Some SwiRL to your Lessons"→Get them speaking, writing, reading and listening

"Help me Understand what you Mean"→Teacher to student and student to teacher

"But I'm not an English Teacher, right?"→Add reading & writing to all the other courses, even if you don't use paper and pen.

Usually I will recommend a great EL podcast, but I have to tell you; I commute to and from home and from campus to campus listening to news, leadership experts, spiritual inspiration and now.....Techie Tools. My absolute fave is "Call your Grandmother!" with two spunkie gals, an octo- and nonagenarian who make me laugh and think. This is so timely for Covid times. ! My new favorite is "Shake Up Learning!" Kasey Bell knows her stuff, all things Google especially. You would think it would be hard to "picture" explanations, but even visual learners like me can "see" what she's saying. Her website does include videos though. I can not wait to apply some of these ideas/skills in summer PD!
