NEWS FLASH!


Do you work with low-level ELLs (with CASAS scores of roughly 180-195)? Do you sometimes struggle with integrating content standards, like ACES/TIF, into your lesson plans? Do you wonder how to deliver rigorous content without overwhelming your learners?

Tune in to the ACES webinar on April 23 from 2:00-3:30 pm, and hear from teachers who intentionally integrate ACES/TIF in their low-level ELL classes on a regular basis. Find out how to choose ACES skills to focus on when planning a lesson, and design activities that are appropriately challenging.

Register your students for the annual Journeys Readings event! This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, April 30 at the Minnesota History Center. With over 800 submissions for this year’s book, we appreciate all the hard work that students, volunteers and staff have put into this year’s Journeys and look forward to celebrating on April 30!

If you have any questions regarding registering for the event or this year’s book (available for pre-order!), please don’t hesitate to contact Kelly at krynda@mnliteracy.org.
