Are you looking for more than just PD but hands-on assistance? Here is a sample of what we can provide:

Landscape Analysis – We will visit your multilingual classrooms (whether SEI, Newcomer, Dual Language, Transitional Bilingual Education, ESL, or World Language), conduct interviews with various stakeholders, look at student data and curricula, and provide detailed feedback with strengths, areas for improvement, and actionable steps for the next 5 years for both structural and instructional improvement. We will use an assessment document based on Puzzle Pieces, A Systems Approach to Multilingual Education to conduct the analysis.

Dual Language Readiness – We will classroom observations, conduct interviews with various stakeholders, and analyze curriculum to determine what needs to be done to launch a successful Dual Language program. We will use an assessment documented based on Puzzle Pieces: A Systems Approach to Multilingual Education and The Guiding Principles.

Coaching for Leaders, Coaches, and Teachers – We will work directly with leaders, coaches, and teachers to help put into practice what is taught through professional development.

Bookclub on Puzzle Pieces: A Systems Approach for Multilingual Education – This is for your most serious educators. If your educators want to really understand the structures and instructional strategies necessary for success with multilingual learners, they will have the opportunity to work directly with the author to study the book. This is the perfect bookclub for teachers who want to improve their practice, for administrators who want to learn how to become instructional leaders for their multilingual students, those who would like to work across the aisle with teachers from different multilingual programs, and district administrators who want to learn how to view their various multilingual programs through a systems lens, thereby saving fiscal resources.
