Join Lori North and Brenda Ward for this very special year long academy for EL ToRs. Come together in June for two hands on, impactful days of learning! Then, each month, Lori and Brenda will share an incredible resource for you to use in your role as an EL ToR, followed by another day of impact learning in the summer of 2024.

The academy will use Culturally Responsive Teaching for Multilingual Learners: Tools for Equity 1st Edition as an anchor for this academy. All participants will receive their own copy of this book!
