Description

N.D. School districts have an increasing number of linguistically diverse students which creates a need for additional EL support in schools. N.D. teachers are frequently responsible for developing the EL program in their schools, often with very little training. There is also a need for mainstream teachers and administrators to increase their expertise in developing instruction and programming for ELS. ND EL Boot Camp addresses multiple topics that are relevant to the outside-of-the-classroom duties for which schools are responsible.

This training addresses 15 Topics related to the education of ELs in N.D. Overall, participants will:

• Learn about the EL program
• Ask questions to develop local program and knowledge base
• Receive sample documents to help update current program paperwork 

Participants are asked to bring EL related documents/reports to the workshop in paper or electronic form including:  

• EL program handbook  
• A copy of the ILP form  
• Parent notification letter 
• 2 year monitoring form  
• A copy of the district’s MIS01 Fall Report 
• At least 2 students who have ACCESS scores from 2023-24 and 2024-25 and the same two students’ MAP or STAR percentile rank in reading.
