EL Book Study, Session 2  

In this session, participants will complete their selected book and focus on translating a key instructional idea into a practical one-page resource for teachers. Through structured cross-book dialogue, educators will clarify their takeaway stance and consider how intentional language support can shape classroom practice and collaboration.

The book study will be held from 9am-12pm with optional work time in the afternoon until 3. No lunch will be provided.
