I really look forward to the in-person Symposium. One of my favorite parts is interacting and working with teachers in other districts to understand how the program is used and what it looks like in other places. I couldn’t get this interaction online and I find it very helpful.

The Symposium topics afforded me and my teammates a chance to discuss data, our perceptions of the challenges, and some ideas to take to action. I really appreciate all of the strategies that bring students’ voices into the room and how it creates engagement and community. I look forward to talking with my teammates in schools to share this great thinking!

Systematic ELD is my roadmap to help me help my students and guide my teachers to make all successful and ready for all possibilities.

I was and continue to be transformed. Every institute, seminar, training I attend lifts me up even higher. I never want to really retire.

I feel like I say this every year, but this was the best symposium so far. Loved all of my sessions so much! You guys are awesome.

Systematic ELD has impacted my practice by providing a framework of pedagogy that supports language development in an authentic way. SysELD takes the mystery out of teaching language.

My teacher brain went into overdrive with the new methods and tools laid out before me in my Constructing Meaning handbook. Instead of my efforts to piece lessons together in well-intentioned but haphazard ways, here was a roadmap – grounded in research – providing a coordinated and effective approach to instruction.
