The KyCEL Summer Learning Series is going well! On June 16th, we had Margaret Heritage (UCLA/WestEd) with us to discuss using formative assessment to improve instruction for English Learners. This past Tuesday, June 23rd, KDE Program Consultants Jessica Sanderson (Title III) & Erin Sudduth (Title I) provided us with comprehensive answers to frequently asked questions.

On June 30, our Summer Learning Series continues with Haiwen Chu from Quality teaching for English Learners. Haiwen's talk is entitled "Any Time, Any Place: Supporting English Learners in Mathematics through Distance Learning." Haiwen's presentation will be very interactive, and we anticipate a large audience. You can sign up for Haiwen's presentation on the form below.
