A Message from the Leadership Team
As we approach our last three weeks of school we ask all teachers to continue to engage students in language acquisition and meaningful academics. Casas post-testing for all summer students will be taking place during 'Testing Week': August 1st - August 4th. Students will be scheduled by class and notified soon of their testing date and time. Regarding Fall classes: Classes at LWTC begin Aug. 15th; off site locations begin Aug. 22nd with the week of Aug. 15th being used for open registration; inform either Bruce Rutila or Ingrid Figares of your intent to return and your instructional preference. Finally, as we gear up for fall classes please save the following two dates as our Back to School Instructional Workshops August 9th & 11th.

Emphasize on the practical knowledge. It is important to design lessons that provide immediate relevancy. Adult learners appreciate learning materials that can be put into practice rather than extraneous facts and theories.
