Garfield Gleanings: FLEX Opportunities at Garfield For Non-Credit ESL

by Caroline DePiro

Garfield Campus Steward

There are great FLEX opportunities coming up at Garfield for Non-Credit ESL Instructors. Megan Ernst is heading up the professional development workshops for Spring 2015 and she has created a very interesting line-up of activities for Non-Credit ESL instructors to choose from. Make sure to turn in your FLEX forms by May 15th!! Turn them in even if you plan to attend a workshop after May 15th. Just indicate that you plan to attend. Good luck and may we never have pay deductions over FLEX mistakes again!
