TEACHERS are the real “Game Changers.”  

Teachers demonstrate limitless game changing strategies each day. Examples include the way they make learning engaging, are tuned in to student needs, continuously improve through professional learning, and bridge learning for parents. This year, the Title I Conference will provide additional strategies and resources teachers can use to enhance their “Game Changing” strategies.

Integrating Engaging ELL Learning Strategies
Monday June 24, 2024 9:00am - 10:30am EDT
This session will explore strategies that can be used to support ELL learners and district resources available for teachers.  One resource is the Center for Language and Culture (CLC).  The CLC is a service center for refugee, immigrant and newly arrived families who speak a language other than English. The CLC offers homework assistance to students, evening language classes for parents, informational community sessions in various languages, and orientation to American schools for newly arrived families.  We are trying to make a positive difference through our actions and services so that families new to Jacksonville have a smooth transition into the American culture and into the Duval County Public school system.  Our goal is to make our community a better place for all of its members.
