In this interactive session, Please join Dr. LeAnne Robinson (Special Education) and Dr. Marsha Riddle Buly (Bilingual/Elementary Education) as we share what we are learning about growing paraeducators/classified staff (and transfer AA students) into highly qualified, certified teachers. We look forward to sharing what we have learned so far about preparation for, and retention of bilingual teachers and special education teachers who have expertise in bilingual education while learning from you to help you build the strongest candidates for the K-12 students in your schools.
Dr. Marsha Riddle Buly is a professor at WWU and the co-director of the Future Bilingual Teacher Fellow program, an alternative certification pathway for working bilingual paraeducators.
