Required SIOP training for all new employees
We are going to continue our required Sheltered Instruction / SIOP training for all employees. This is part of the ESL Compliance requirements and more importantly a best practice for serving our EL population. All certified staff PK-12 completed the online training last year. They will not need to renew or complete again this year. We are asking that all certified staff new to Pine Tree complete the training by 12/20/2019. This should give the ample time to complete the modules.
Please share these links with staff via your S'more or newsletter. Please let me know if I can help.
