Summer school blends education, culture, fun

The summer school also partnered with Western Washington University’s Woodring College of Education’s teacher-readiness program called Secondary Education for Equity and Diversity (SEED). The program prepares adults with bachelor’s degrees in areas other than teaching for high school teaching careers with English Language Learner (ELL) certificates.

“I think they’ll all be much better first-year teachers,” said Maria Timmons-Flores, professor of ELL and bilingual education at Western.
