- Still many others are taking the online, self paced Dual Language Essentials (your aides are invited to participate-let them know to email me with their interest!)
- All new educators are taking Teaching for Biliteracy on August 1 and 8 (aides are invited, as well as those who want to "brush" up)
- Lastly, a small group is headed to Illinois to work directly with Cheryl Urow and Karen Beeman this August in their intensive Teaching for Biliteracy
