Check out the redesigned English learner web portal!
The portal NOW introduces resources for parents and families of English learners and a NEW strand focusing on building community partnerships. This innovated portal provides a one stop shop approach for all stakeholders to access state and federal guidance and web-based resources to boost student outcomes. The site now offers a translation feature to toggle between the top languages in Texas.
Visit www.elltx.org and see how you can implement these great resources to increase the impact on the academic success of the State’s English learners.

FREE MULTILINGUAL POSTERS of Female Role Models in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics - Illustrated by female artists from South America, Africa, the Middle East, & China
From NEVERTHELESS PODCAST - A podcast celebrating the women transforming teaching and learning through technology.
"At the end of NEVERTHELESS SEASON TWO, we commissioned another four female illustrators from South America, Africa, the Middle East and China to produce a new set of posters. We now have eight beautiful posters in our collection for you to download. The women featured serve as amazing role models in their fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (or STEM as it’s often referred to). You can listen to our episode on STEM Role Models, too.
We’d love you to download the posters and print them out for your school or workplace. By taking part, you’ll help raise awareness of their achievements, and hopefully inspire a new generation of women working in STEM."
You can now download the posters in the following languages: French, French (Canadian), German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Simplified Chinese, and English
To download posters, read the blog, & hear inspiring podcasts http://bit.ly/2UgwPd5
