Your district's OELPA results were uploaded into CRS Sunday evening/Monday morning and are now available. For those of us who prefer to view data visually, Corbin Moore from HCESC created a Looker Studio in which to view your results. Here are the directions on how to pull that data and drop it into the template. It's easy-to-use and super valuable!

Multilingual Learner Summit

Join us for an action packed day as we learn from Sydney Snyder, nationally known speaker and author of "Culturally Responsive Teaching for Multilingual Learners."

She will share with us why culturally responsive teaching matters and provide us with tools that we can immediately implement in our daily work with students, colleagues, and families. In addition, smaller breakout sessions will occur to allow us time to delve deeper into the learning and the tools.

Each participant will be given a copy of "Culturally Responsive Teaching for Multilingual Learners" to extend the learning and access to the tools following the summit.

Register here.
