Two New DLTL Cohorts Launch Summer 2020

Despite challenges presented by Covid-19, two new Dual Language Teacher Leadership graduate cohorts launched this Summer. Classes that were to be held on the Schaumburg and Chicago campuses were offered remotely; enabling students to safely participate in their first semester of coursework. Courses were expertly led by Dr. Erin Mackinney, Dr. Allison Slade, Jennifer Langer and Adelina Rivera.

Kudos to our determined students and instructors who flexibly navigated these unique circumstances!
