To change this brochure, replace our sample content with your own. Or, if you'd rather start from a clean slate, press the New Slide button on the Home tab to insert a new page. Now enter your text and pictures in the empty placeholders. If you need more placeholders for titles, subtitles or body text, copy any of the existing placeholders, then drag the new one into place.
And did you notice we made fold marks for you? They are really light, but if you don’t like them showing on your brochure, select and delete them before you print.

SIOP PD and Coaching for the mainstream and ESOL teachers (1 Year Cohort )
SIOP for administrators
This PD opportunity allows participants to learn how to implement the SIOP framework that integrates language and content instruction. This framework provides the language development needed by students learning content through a new language.
“SIOP has bridged an enormous gap for me as an educator. It has opened my eyes to the needs of all my students, and has given me the tools I need to truly differentiate and scaffold my instruction. All of my students, not just my English language learners, have noticeably and positively responded to the changes I’ve made. Our entire staff is embracing the mindset and skills taught in SIOP.”
Tracy Jane Weidel,
ELA Teacher at Busch Middle School
Co-Teaching for ELLs
Co-Teaching and Collaboration for teams of mainstream and ESOL teachers (1Year Cohort)
Co-teaching look- fors for administrators
This PD opportunity allows mainstream and ESOL teachers to learn the theory and apply the knowledge regarding collaboration and co-teaching in general education classes to target English language learners’ needs in content areas.
“We wholeheartedly support the co-teaching model. As the enrollment number of ESOL students continues to increase at our school, co-teaching allows us to serve a larger number of students than pull-out, without the stigma of pull-out and without students missing content.”
Ruth Juhlin, ESOL Teacher &Abigail Cook ELA teacher (SIOP)at Busch Middle School
