Professional Development
MATSOL offers high quality professional development for teachers and administrators working with English learners. Our courses have been developed by expert educators, grounded in their experience teaching in Massachusetts schools, and informed by feedback from educators and school districts across the Commonwealth. We also provide custom consultations to address specific district needs.
Members of the MATSOL PD Team are all highly qualified and experience instructors who have been educators of English learners in Massachusetts public schools.
MATSOL is a professional development provider approved by Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Advocacy
MATSOL advocates on behalf of Massachusetts students learning English, their families, and their teachers in all program contexts.
As a founding member of the Language Opportunity Coalition, MATSOL led advocacy that resulted in passage of the LOOK Act of 2017, which restored bilingual education and established a state Seal of Biliteracy.
MATSOL also participates in national advocacy with TESOL International Association.
