I work in a middle school teaching a Spanish Language Arts/Heritage program.  I am here to stay informed on the WIDA process because I do have an ESL license and there is a lot of crossover.

Hello,
My name is Cri, and I'm the K-12 ESOL teacher in Colegio Maya, The American International School of Guatemala.
I've been using WIDA since 2013 in Mumbai, India, but never had any kind of (formal) training - hence all I know is self-taught. In this PD I'm hoping to fill in gaps and have some answers I've not been able to find by myself.

I am Glorim Lopez-Pallango, ESL / ELD Teacher at Spring Creek Middle School in Wayne County Public Schools, North Carolina.  We serve Multilingual Learners in grade levels fifth through eighth.  Since I will continue to collaborate with content area teachers throughout the school year, I decided to join the WIDA Institute to learn more about the 2020 WIDA ELD Standards Framework and how to implement them.
