Upcoming Opportunities:
July 2024 Training opportunities for educators of ELs!
Our OELAS team has been diligently and excitedly preparing for a few upcoming training opportunities across the state in July! Educators that attend one or both sessions will walk away with a firmer understanding of what it means to provide Targeted ELD and/or Integrated Instruction for English learners (ELs) and not only receive, but also engage in practical strategies for teaching ELs. We are developing these trainings to make abstract ideas concrete and have participants engage in tangible teaching/learning strategies.
Registration: Participants must register for this training through Arizona’s Professional Learning and Development (APLD) application; search “OELAS Summer Training” or narrow the course listings to “Office of English Language Acquisition Services”. Participation is strictly capped at the capacity noted in APLD due to our venue spaces.
Cost: While there is not a registration cost for this training and because space is limited, we ask that participants commit to attending once registered. In the event something comes up and he/she cannot attend after registering, we understand. We ask that the registration be canceled in APLD so that the system will open the seat to another teacher.
Time: 8:30am-3:30pm; lunch on your own
Location: The training location will vary depending on the city. Please visit APLD for these specifics.
