Evaluation & Leadership for Equity
Popular with instructional leaders including school leaders and coaches. Leaders need to understand the competencies and skills that content and language teachers need to effectively support multilingual learners. In this course, we teach evidence-based strategies for strengthening school culture, programming, and professional learning to benefit linguistically diverse students and families.

“Asking questions, reevaluating tools for bias, recognizing your own personal bias, understanding the qualities of effective instruction—I found this insightful and inspiring.

Ronald Watson 
Professional Learning Community Leader

“This course was instrumental in driving home the fact that all learners can/will benefit from more individualized instruction, less barriers, more deliberate inclusiveness, and varied instruction methods. We also need (nationwide) to understand & embrace the fact that we are just one part of an entire world which includes over 6000 different languages and almost 4000 different cultures.”

Cortney Keegan
Business & Operations Manager

“I have a much better understanding of how to support ELL programs in a quality way rather than just a compliance way and can now much better engage with my colleague administrators from other schools in conversations on this topic to get input on what is working (or not) in other districts. I definitely recommend this program to other administrators.”

Justin Kratz
Vocational High School Principal

“We used to use communication as a reactive practice, now I will shift to proactive communication schedules.”

Dina Bunke
Director of Pupil Services
