I am interested in the ELD classes! If I took these classes, I would be out of my classroom for 3 days. Do I need prior approval from the district?

This training is open to all K-5 teachers. The series for grades 6-12 is open to teachers in those grade levels. It is the same series that was offered last spring and found it to be very helpful. You can sign up by clicking on the "To Register" button above. We'll take care of getting you registered with SCOE. Thank you for your question!
