ELL & Spanish Courses for Educators
I am excited to share that the ELL Department will be offering an online course entitled “Teaching ELLs in the Content Area Classroom.” It has been approved as a 3 credit MSDE course for WCPS staff and is being taught by ELL teacher Leann Buchanan. It's a 15 week course starting January 27th completely online except for an initial face to face meeting on January 27th at Hickory. In addition, we are bringing back the Spanish for Educators course. It will be a 1 credit course held Tuesday evenings at Salem Avenue starting in February. It will be taught by ELL teacher Nitza Rivera. Feel free to spread the word with anyone that may be interested! Thanks!!
