“This course is the impetus for me to stop thinking about COVID for a while and get my head and practice back into the classroom with a focus on equity.”
“I have a much better understanding of how to support ELL programs in a quality way rather than just a compliance way and can now much better engage with my colleague administrators from other schools in conversations on this topic to get input on what is working (or not) in other districts. I definitely recommend this program to other administrators.”

“This course met my need to collaborate with our EL specialist to not only support her but also her students. I used to trust that she was taking care of her students and was not in need of my support since she has been working in this field so long. I realized upon setting up a meeting with her that she faces many challenges as the only EL teacher in a small 6-12 school and that she would appreciate monthly meetings to discuss ways to support her. I have booked those meetings.”
“Before I used to think transformation started with teachers, after working with Sarah’s schoolwide approach to supporting equity and language, I believe that my greatest impact could be from creating an action plan with my principal and working to share my knowledge with leadership.”
