Professional Development
Teachers tasked with providing Integrated and Designated ELD and access to core curriculum instruction for English learners are given multiple opportunities to refine their instructional strategies and repertoire of tools to work with English learners. Palm Springs Unified School District is committed to providing focused professional development to all teachers and staff in order to assure that they have the appropriate authorization needed to work with English learners. Please contact the English learner programs department staff to set up any of these trainings for your school below.
