As part of my Graduate Research Assistant position, I played a key role in developing and facilitating professional development training for teachers in the Belgrade School District. Our team provided 4 sessions during the 2023/24 academic year. Our focused sessions were crafted to equip educators with essential tools for better understanding and supporting English Language Learner students. Through collaborative learning and practical strategies, we aimed to enhance the classroom experience, fostering an environment where every student, regardless of language background, can thrive.
