You may have seen the exciting new ESL Pro professional development resources highlighted on the LINCS homepage. These materials are now all available for your exploration and use here. On this site, you will find three resource topics, each with a self-paced online course, an issue brief and a companion learning resource. The three topic areas are:
• Meeting the Needs of Today's English Language Learner
• Integrating Digital Literacy into English Language Instruction
• Preparing English Learners for Work and Career Pathways
Do you have English language learners in your career pathways program? If so, you will be interested in Preparing English Learners for Work and Career Pathways. I would like to know if there are members interested in taking a closer look at these career-related materials together. Collectively, we can provide the community with insights and suggestions for how to approach using this topic area to develop and expand career opportunities for ELLs. Are you with me?
Please reply to this post or email me if you are interested in joining this effort. I hope we can create an engaged and committed group to start what will be a valuable conversation on making the most of this comprehensive, new resource!
Best,
