Title III Mini-grant Opportunity for ELL Materials to be Rolled out at Dec. 4 ESL Advisory Meeting

All Heartland AEA districts with ELLs are invited  to attend or send a representative(s) to the upcoming Dec. 4 ESL Advisory meeting at 6500 Corporate Drive from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Room 129.

A National Geographic representative will present an overview of both secondary and elementary materials geared toward ELL needs from 4:40-5:00 p.m., and will kindly stay afterward in case there are additional questions and to allow examination of the materials.

This quarterly meeting, as always, is open to all districts (administrators, teachers, counselors or other staff who serve ELLs) and will feature a special opportunity available to districts that will be announced at this meeting.

Districts with ELLs who need supplementary materials, such as leveled books that support Core instruction, manipulatives or other scaffolded materials will receive a template for applying for up to a $3,500 mini-grant for the purchase of those materials, in the form of reimbursement to districts.
 
Your ESL/Diversity consultants, Stephaney Jones-Vo and Janet Hiatt, hope to see you there!
 
(We always end promptly on time, though attendees are welcome to stay afterward for Q and A.)
