S4/E32: Reimagining EL Education: Professional Learning for Teachers of ELs in a New Educational Landscape with Christina Lo

What affordances does a forced entry into virtual learning offer for professional development? How can professional learning opportunities focused on language and content also integrate family engagement, social-emotional learning and more? How might districts maintain strong learning experiences for teachers while also facing budget cuts as a result of the pandemic? We discuss these questions and much more with Christina Lo. Christina is an energizing, reflective leader who serves with passion and dedication. As an educator and central office leader, she brings more than 14 years of experience to the profession. Currently serving as the Supervisor of English Learner Instruction for Prince William County Public Schools, she supports school administrators and teachers as they work with culturally and linguistically diverse students. Christina holds a master’s degree in intercultural studies and TESOL with endorsements in ESL, Spanish and administration. She is passionate about curating and providing high quality professional development that builds the capacity of each participant, no matter their title or role.
