Highlights 2009 - 2010

  • A key accomplishment this year was partnering with the ATA ESL specialist council on their conference as well as the planning and delivery of a series of webinars. Working with specialist council representatives a district leader and  the ERLC distributed learning consultant  a program was developed that supported the region with areas of focus and need they identified. The webinars also provided sustainable support for those teachers that have few ESL students and want to learn more but are unable to attend PD. (e.g., lack of resources, time, travel, suitability of date session offered) The archived webinars are on the ERLC site at http://www.erlc.ca/resources/default.php?theme=54&title=English+Language+Learners as well the ATA ESL specialist council plans to  add  these resources to their website.
  • This project developed capacity of ESL leaders in the province who are now comfortable and very capable in delivering learning opportunities via webinar.
