PLC Meetings - Mid Year

We are going strong! #PLC4Newcomers
​Our PLC for teachers of newcomer students for this school year is going strong. From January to May, we've had a wonderful time meeting on a monthly basis and learning from fantastic guest speakers who willingly joined us to share their expertise with us. Below you'll find links to our meetings as we wrap up our 2022-2023 school year. Be sure to share this YouTube playlist with all your teacher friends. All sessions are available HERE.  If you decide to join our monthly meetings, complete this form: bit.ly/PLC4Newcomers2022

Most great learning happens in groups. Collaboration is the stuff of growth. -

In January 2023 we had Tamara J. Coburn and Maria Jose Uribe joined us and share All the Things ACCESS testing. 
ACCESS testing is a very stressful time of the year for all ELD educators and these tips are fantastic. Watch the recorded meeting HERE! 

In February we had the amazing Jon Nordmeyer sharing with us about COLLABORATION as Transformation.
As many districts move to a more inclusive model where students spend more time in mainstream classrooms, this presentation can provide you with great collaboration tips! Watch it HERE. 

In March, we had Ranesia Edwards share great tips on supporting and encouraging our student to write more!!
Watch recording HERE. 

So, during our March meeting, our guest speaker couldn't make it so we improvised!!
Since it was so close to the end of the school year, we discussed all about End-of-School activities.
A ton of great activities were shared so you don't want to miss this. We have activities that you could probably do all throughout the school year! Watch it HERE

Our LATE May meeting, and our last for the school year, is all about Honoring the Language of Newcomer Students.
We are so excited to host, Esmeralda Cartagena and learn from her. Watch sessions HERE.
