MATSOL Webinars

About Our Webinars

MATSOL Webinars bring together educators of English Learners from across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; MATSOL members include teachers, administrators, and other educators in:

  • PK-12 schools (public, charter, independent)
  • Pre-service & in-service teacher education
  • Community College ESL programs
  • Intensive English Programs (IEPs)
  • Adult and workplace education
  • Private Language School

MATSOL encourages engaging, interactive presentations that make the theory to practice connection. Successful proposals include practical classroom activities informed by current research and pedagogy, demonstrations of successful instructional practices, examinations of current issues in education, and research that informs educators in the Massachusetts context. Webinars should engage the audience through interactive tools when possible. All webinars will be recorded and cataloged on MATSOL’s website as a resource to its members.

MATSOL webinars will be available for free to MATSOL members, and will be archived on this website.
