Professional Development (Open to all - consortium members and nonmembers)

Charting the Path | Using the EL Matrix for Making Informed Decisions

• This workshop will guide school teams through the powerful English Learner (EL) Matrix, a collaborative tool designed to help teams make more informed and appropriate decisions for struggling English learners. We will explore how to move beyond basic test scores and delve into a comprehensive, student-centered approach. You'll learn to analyze and synthesize critical data-including parent input, academic testing, observations, and progress monitoring data-to get a deeper understanding of a student's needs. By the end of this workshop, participants will be equipped to use the EL Matrix to determine whether an EL student requires a specific intervention or if a special education referral is a more appropriate pathTwo opportunities to attend:
