Yet, we still have untapped potential and vast opportunities for growth.

It also provides a valuable occasion to meet in person with the MDE representative, facilitating open discussions on key upcoming initiatives, funding changes, policies, and programs related to multilingual education.We look forward to your participation and to celebrating your contributions to advancing multilingual education in your schools and classrooms.

For too long, professional development has been a collection of disconnected events that are well intended, but rarely supported long enough to change daily practice and impact student learning. This series starts by naming that reality and then shifts the work toward building a coherent professional learning system: clear focus, classroom-connected (job-embedded) learning, and routines that help adults learn, try, gather evidence, and adjust over time.This workshop series is designed for teams of educators that must include: District Leadership, Building Administrative Leadership, Instructional Coaches, Lead Teachers, and other Instructional Leadership in your context that have a role to play in supporting the professional learning and development of your staff.This series is hybrid with both face-to-face learning sessions, in district brainstorming and planning, and asynchronous learning.For greater details please see the series SMORE flyer: https://app.smore.com/n/2rdyw
