Please join us for an enlightening evening of conversation about how to create an environment to support your emergent bilingual students.  The event will begin with our keynote speaker Felip Luis, Principal West End School. He will be discussing how to lead a dual-language program.  Then we break the group into tabletop discussion groups for some choice learning revolved around ELL.  Finally, we will end with some networking and refreshments. We look forward to seeing you there!  

Felip Lewis Bio: 

Mr. Filipe Luis started his career as a teacher at Lafayette Street School in Newark.  Throughout that period, he had the pleasure of educating students in first through eighth grade, while working as both a general education and a resource/in-class support teacher.  Mr. Luis has experience as an educational leader, serving as a principal in Cranford for four years and the Dean of Students in Ridgefield prior to that time.  

Over the last four years, Mr. Luis has been a part of  West End Elementary School in North Plainfield. North Plainfield is the 6th most diverse town in the state of New Jersey and has had a large jump in ESL students over the last several years.  During this time, Mr. Luis has implemented Reading/Writing Workshop and a Dual Language Academy.

The Dual Language Academy started in 2017 with a kindergarten cohort and has continued every year since.  Mr. Luis is currently working with his team members to expand the program into Pre-Kindergarten and into third grade.

During the Fall of 2019, Mr. Luis attended a three-day professional development experience at the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington DC focused on “Leading Dual Language Programs for Student Success”. 

Mr. Luis has worked in education for the last 18 years, is a graduate of Montclair and Seton Hall University and holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, accordingly.  Mr. Luis is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish and is passionate about providing an experience for all students to learn.
