ESC Region 11 provides regional technical assistance, Texas Education Agency updates, and research-based professional development to district/charter school Bilingual/ESL coordinators/directors, teachers, and administrators to support implementation of English language acquisition programs.

 

Professional development is focused on curricula, assessment, and instructional strategies for the English language learner (ELL). ESC Region 11 provides required state trainings for Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC), as well as state assessment for ELLs (TELPAS, and STAAR), Sheltered Instruction, TExES ESL Supplemental Exam Preparation, and Spanish literacy in bilingual programs.

 

 

 

  

This year TEA has asked that we only provide full day LPAC Framework Trainings because of the additional information and changes with the revisions to Chapter 89 and Title III. Please plan to register for one of the following session (only one as they are repeated sessions). Remember this is designed to be a Trainer of Trainers (TOT) so that you will leave with all the knowledge and materials to turn this around in your district.
