“Asking questions, reevaluating tools for bias, recognizing your own personal bias, understanding the qualities of effective instruction—I found this insightful and inspiring.
”
“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 was instrumental in driving home the fact that all learners can/will benefit from more individualized instruction, less barriers, more deliberate inclusiveness, and varied instruction methods. We also need (nationwide) to understand & embrace the fact that we are just one part of an entire world which includes over 6000 different languages and almost 4000 different cultures.”
“We used to use communication as a reactive practice, now I will shift to proactive communication schedules.”
