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.]]> 2022-07-25 21:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/widasocial/x670gdsrkmtej5md/wish/2249487194 jessicadominguezitzel https://padlet.com/widasocial/x670gdsrkmtej5md/wish/2249489681 Hello! I'm Jessica, I will be the EAL teacher for lower elementary at The International Community School of Addis in Ethiopia. 
I've known about WIDA and what it's for, but have never personally used it. I look forward to learning more about WIDA and how I can use it efficiently with my students.  ]]> 2022-07-25 21:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/widasocial/x670gdsrkmtej5md/wish/2249489681 https://padlet.com/widasocial/x670gdsrkmtej5md/wish/2249960487 Hello everyone!
