Are you trying to offer English Learners in your schools quality opportunities to learn? Do you want to learn new ways of supporting them as they engage in activity? Does your school or district have classes with students who have a wide range of English proficiencies?

Every summer QTEL holds professional development institutes for educators focused on the development of educator expertise to engage English Learners and all other students in deep, generative learning.

During our summer institutes, participants experience and understand powerful models of learning which they are able to turn into school practices that cultivate global competencies and academic development for English Learners and all other students.
