Teaching for Biliteracy sessions on
Oracy and Meta-linguistic Awareness
Saturday February 18 and Saturday March 4th 9-1am (light brunch included)
Les Paul Middle School

Many teachers are asking to “brush up on”, or reconnect with the practices and framework around the BUF.  This 2 day session is a repeat of the course/book study you participated in when hired or when we launched Teaching for Biliteracy in 2012.

Planning to attend?
Please complete the google form to let us know (a supportive compensation may be available)


Classroom Material Audit
We are in the process of taking inventory of all materials in a DL classroom. Maria Barreras will be sending a google spreadsheet to document current titles in every classroom. We ask for your help to expedite the process.  2 hours of compensation will be provided for your support.
