Teachers, administrators, para-educators and counselors of ELLs are invited to attend the first ESL Advisory/Networking meeting of the 2012-13 school year designed to offer an opportunity to network with other educators across our AEA, as well as a chance to find out about the latest Title III offerings. We hope to grow our base and that districts will consider sending a representative to this important quarterly meeting.
At our first meeting on September 5, we will share information about two Title III mini-grants. Six Family Literacy/Parent Involvement mini-grants will be available for $3,500 each to the schools submitting the most comprehensive proposals. Any district can apply for a grant to meet specific local needs. Also, Title III mini-grants to Support ELLs in the Core will be awarded based on a district’s ELL enrollment and need for supplementary materials to support the Core content. Awards start at $1,000, and last year we awarded 10 of these grants.
A variety of excellent professional development opportunities for this fall have been planned. Come find out how districts can take advantage of these great activities. We welcome your ideas and input.
