Now that the school year is in full swing, in the U.S. anyway, it’s time to talk about collaboration! Being able to collaborate effectively and in appropriate ways with others, whether it be administrators, teaching colleagues, students, or families of students, will help ensure the success of English Language Learners in school. And in order to collaborate effectively, it’s essential to be able to communicate well.
So please join my co-host Laurah, from Tools for Teachers by Laurah J, and me in the next #ELLEdTech chat to discuss Tech Tools for Collaboration and Communication. These are the two remaining skills that are part of the 4C Framework. To read more about Collaboration, please click HERE and for more info about Communication, click HERE. The chat is on Sunday, September 16th and will start at 4:00pm Pacific, 7:00pm Eastern, and
11:00pm UTC time on the third Sunday of each month.
