ESC Region 11 English Learner Support staff will provide Region 11 Bilingual/ESL Directors, Coordinators, and those serving as district points of contact with an opportunity to meet with ESC staff and collaborate with district and charter school colleagues. Sessions will include updates and information about state and federal rules and regulations for Bilingual and ESL programs. Guidance and support will be provided for effective program design and implementation. Updates on state and federal issues that affect the instruction and assessment of English learners will also be shared. Please note that sessions for 20-21 will be delivered via Zoom (based on the feedback received from district and charter school Bilingual/ESL Program leaders). Sessions are subject to change based on TEA updates and guidance.
