“We have been working with Dr. Y for three years. He has been instrumental in so many areas of our work. He helped us define the vision and mission of Language Acquisition in our district. Dr. Y helped us fine tune the Two-Way Dual Language Expansion initiative in our elementary campuses. He has also partnered with us in developing and delivering professional learning for our ESL teachers in all grade bands. What we appreciate most about Dr. Y is that he has tailored his support to our specific needs. He never tried to sell us a "canned" workshop. He works alongside us to design and deliver what our district needs.”
“I am currently teaching ELA for Emergent Bilinguals. The language is something that my students are already having difficulty with. The workshop gave me some insight as to what I can do to help their comprehension during readings.”
“Thank you for your support this year. It is much appreciated. We are moving in the right direction and with your support this year during a very interesting and challenging time, continued to do so.”
