Are you struggling to answer TExES questions about English Learners and Emergent Bilingual students?

Questions about supporting English Learners (ELs) and Emergent Bilinguals (EBs) in the classroom show up on several TExES exams, including Core Subjects, PPR, and (of course) the ESL Supplemental.

Join me this Friday, June 6th to learn helpful content and strategies that apply across multiple TExES exams!
