Blended Learning is an educational technology movement that has made an impact worldwide in education. It helps meet the needs of all types of learners, including
English Learners. There is a growing body of research indicating the benefits of Blended Learning. As we continue to encourage the use of blended learning with our English Learners, we remind you of opportunities available to teacher of English Learners through the Region One MEGAbytes Services. Here are the Professional Development sessions available for December and a PDF of all sessions for 2019-2020. The Bilingual Department encourages teachers of English Learners to attend sessions. For more information on the support offered through our Bilingual/ESL/Title III Department, please contact us at 956-548-8271.
