Update: Sponsorship Recipients 2018-2019

From: NCDPI ESL/Title III

To: Educators who have been awarded a sponsorship opportunity 2018-2019

These set of sponsorships were awarded to educators who participated at the Growing Success for ELs Conference #NCELs18 and the World Languages and DL/I call for participants as an opportunity to bring together educators of all content areas and all grade spans to share ownership of our vision, "build capacity at the local school system level and sustain statewide implementation of research-based strategies to meet the needs of our English learners".

The NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) appreciates your interest in participating. Applications are closed and awardees have been notified. We hope we can offer this kind of learning opportunities to more educators in the near future.

Sponsorship recipients have been added to the Building Capacity for ELs listserv and they will receive updates about the sponsored activities and related information.
