Lunch and Learn – ML Workshop – For Atkinson, Wisconsin

On February 25th, WITESOL sponsored a Lunch and Learn workshop for ML educators in partnership with the School District of Fort Atkinson’s ML Department. It was a fabulous day of networking! During the workshop, educators shared resources, collaborated about effective strategies for working with multilingual learners, and brainstormed solutions on how to best support students who are learning English. This year’s workshop brought together 26 educators from several districts including Delavan-Darien, Eau Claire, Edgerton, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Lake Mills, Milton, Stoughton, Watertown, and Whitewater. Everyone left the workshop feeling empowered to help their multilingual learners by using the new strategies and resources gathered during the workshop.
