NVTESOL Mission
According to Mokhart, 2012, there has been a 200% increase of the English language learner population in Nevada from 1998-2008. Because of this, the mission of NVTESOL is to provide a space for educators, researchers and stakeholders to share ideas and resources that help benefit the emergent bilingual population and all of the students in Nevada schools. Our mission is to also provide new and veteran teachers with a space to collaborate and design lessons that are successful and beneficial for their students. NVTESOL wants to serve as a platform for helping the growing ELL population.
NVTESOL Events
The NVTESOL committee and team is here to help its members find the resources necessary to help their emergent bilingual students. We are also working towards designing a quarterly newsletter with information of upcoming events hosted by members of NVTESOL. As a member you will also have access to a monthly short article with resources designed to help educators.
NVTESOL hosts a number of events throughout the year. Always check our website for the most up to date information and schedule.
