This online course will provide you with opportunities to learn from experts and current practitioners in multilingualism and early literacy and to engage in hands-on activities through which you will learn about your students, reflect on your early literacy teaching, and develop practical resources.
This course is open to any K-2 educators who work in classrooms with multilingual students in a school district in Oregon, including classroom teachers, language specialists, and literacy specialists. We especially encourage teachers to co-enroll as a team with other teachers with whom they collaborate.
