As you schedule next year’s professional development activities, consider the Iowa Culture and Language Conference (ICLC) on November 8-9, 2011, as an excellent way of providing all teachers with timely, research-based information on serving ELLs in your districts.
Janette Klingner is scheduled to do an all day pre-conference session November 7, on IDM (RTI) and ESL. Other pre-conference (full-day) presenters include Margarita Calderon, Jane Hill & Anne Lundquist, and Soccoro Herrera. More information will be available soon.
The main conference on November 8-9 will provide an opportunity to attend sessions with an abundance of well-known experts in the ESL field. Margo Gottlieb, an expert in assessment who co-authored the TESOL standards, will be presenting on assessment, standards and core curriculum. Catherine Collier, a well-known and referenced expert in the SPED/ESL arena will also be presenting.
Many other experts are scheduled to present at ICLC; the complete list will be posted on the Northwest AEA website soon.
