Make a request
Various options are available for funding EL Support Team Training events: Option 1: LEA/Charter Request:  When an LEA/Charter requests EL Support Services for themselves, DPI provides the presenter hours at no cost. The LEA/Charter is responsible for funding the training location, snacks, training materials/texts and presenter travel costs. Max. 5 days of service per school year. Option 2: LEA/Charter Host: When an LEA/Charter hosts a training including at least one other Charter/LEA, NCDPI provides the presenter hours, training materials/texts, and presenter travel at no cost. The LEA/Charter is responsible for providing the training location and snacks. Option 3: Journey Host: When a Regional Education Service Alliance (RESA) hosts an EL Support Team training, NCDPI provides the presenter hours, training materials/texts, and presenter travel at no cost. The RESA is responsible for providing the training location and snacks. Training Details to Consider: Requests should be submitted at least 2 months prior to the requested training start date.
For record keeping purposes, requests for multiple services should be submitted on separate pages of the survey. For example, a request for SIOP training followed by SIOP Coaching would require completion of 2 pages of the survey. Service Request "1 of 2" would be completed for the raining days and the Service Request "2 of 2" would be completed for the coaching.
Due to the nature of the SIOP Model and ExC-ELL a full 3-day institute is highly recommended for initial training. The full 3-day institute training dates may or may not be consecutive. Best options for the target audience can be explored.
Training capacity is typically a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40 per 1 presenter.
The EL Support Team can offer services to an LEA/Charter for up to 5 days per school year.
FREE Online Training Modules are available for both LinguaFolio and WIDA. It is recommend that the appropriate modules be completed before requesting EL Support Services for these topics.
