Budget-Saving Professional Development
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented financial strain on educational institutions, leaving schools grappling with limited funds. Amidst these budgetary constraints, the need for continuous professional development (PD) for teachers remains crucial. High-quality PD equips educators with the skills and knowledge necessary to address evolving classroom challenges. Therefore, finding cost-effective ways to support teachers’ professional growth is imperative. With diminishing funds and rising student needs, teacher support has become crucial in today’s classrooms. One rapidly growing population that requires significant support is the ELL (English Language Learners) population in schools. This summer, we at EdQuiddity are offering a budget-helper to support professional learning, that provides a deeper discount for two years.
The Growing Need to Support English Language Learners (ELLs)
According to the National Education Association, it is projected that by 2025, one out of every four students in the United States will be an English Language Learner (ELL). This rapidly increasing demographic underscores the urgency for teachers to be well-versed in strategies that cater to the unique educational needs of ELL students. As the ELL population grows, ensuring that teachers can effectively support these students becomes increasingly important. Addressing the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of ELLs is essential for fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
With diminishing funds and rising student needs, we’re offering a summer savings designed to provide your school with affordable, impactful professional development opportunities.
Strategies for Supporting English Language Learners in the Classroom
Given the significant rise in the ELL student population, teachers must be equipped with effective strategies to support these learners.
