Practitioners of English Language Learning (PELL)
The PELL (Practitioners of English Language Learning) Meeting is a full-day workshop intended for district and site level Administrators, EL Coordinators, Directors and Instructional Leaders (Content Specialists, Academic Coaches) involved in the implementation and oversight of programs for Arizona’s English learners (ELs).
September 10, 2024 | In-Person PELL Meeting
Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2024
Time: 9:00am-4:00pm
Location: Desert Willow Conference Center | Phoenix, Arizona
Cost: $125.00
Registration Process:
Over the years, we have heard from our smaller districts and charter school programs indicating that they struggled to register for a seat before the event reaches capacity. As we connect this challenge with the limited functions of the registration system (Arizona’s Professional Learning and Development [APLD] application), we have been looking at ways to promote a balanced approach to registration. With this, we will open the PELL meeting registration in two phases:
- July 29th by 8:00am: A meeting registration link will be sent to the districts and charter school programs with smaller English learner (EL) populations (fewer than 100 ELs total).
- August 5th by 8:00am: All held seats, plus about 100 additional seats, will open for all districts and charter school programs for registration. Beginning on August 5th, all registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach capacity.
- Please be mindful of the number of participants registering from the district or charter school as well as the intended audience for this meeting (this is an administrative meeting for coordinators).
APLD Registration Note: In order to formally register and confirm a seat, you will need to ensure you have access to your personal APLD account and your form of payment (valid purchase order or credit card). Moving forward for paid events, the team at OELAS (Office of English Language Acquisition Services) will not manually register participants.
