ELD Think Tanks: DECEMBER - ADD INFO
Mark your calendars for DECEMBER! Our first smaller group ELD Think Tanks will begin this month. As we would like to meet in feeder groups, you are assigned a specific day to attend. Please see this document for specific information and session assignments. The next ELD Think Tank will begin at 8:30 am, and it will end at 3:00 pm. Please attend the session for your feeder, and arrive between 8:15-8:30 am at the Library’s Event Hall.
Session #1 is at Lone Tree Library 10055 Library Way, Lone Tree, CO 80124.
Session #2 is at Parker Library 20105 Mainstreet Parker, CO 80134. We ask that you do not enter the Event Hall prior to 8:15 am as we will need the area to be clear to set up the seating. HERE is a map containing each location.
ELD Think Tanks are required for all ELD specialists. If you are a secondary or kindergarten teacher, and you require a sub, please code your request as "ELD-Other Training".
If you are unable to attend, please notify Remy Rummel and Cindy Close, and connect with your ELD Lead to obtain information and complete action steps.
