GWATFL DCPS Collaborative! and Free Online Workshop offered by CAL & AELRC

 

The GWATFL DCPS Collaborative!

JOIN A COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED TEACHERS:

GWATFL MAP Outreach, Liaison, and Advocacy (OLA) for DCPS Initiative would like to bring together language educators from DCPS and beyond to share, co-create, and brainstorm ideas, initiatives, and opportunities for GWATFL to address the specific needs of DCPS language teachers.

In the Collaborative, we will meet, exchange perspectives and ideas on various topics, from proficiency to authentic resources, from racialized curriculum to equitable and just classrooms, from teacher burnout to self-care practices.
