The closing of schools caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has created an increased need for you and your colleagues to connect and learn from each other, to share resources and to provide the emotional and professional support to meet the demands of equitable access and EL appropriate instruction through distance learning, materials or one-on-one outreach with your English Learners. With that in mind, we are offering various opportunities to uplift each other and at the same time make a difference for our students.
