The purpose of this project is to design, develop, and test an online professional development program called Bridging English Language Learning and Academics (BELLA)* for improving teacher and student outcomes for working with English Learners (ELs). Through an iterative process of development following a Design Based Implementation Research strategy, the research team will develop and test an online teacher professional development program for ESL and classroom teachers to work together to support English Learners. The development process will involve teachers, administrators, parents as well as expert advisors in a design process to develop a professional development program that is feasible, engaging, and impactful.
Teachers who participate in BELLA will have improved outcomes including: increased collaboration between English as a Second Language (ESL) and classroom teachers; implementation of high-impact instructional strategies; and incorporation of students' cultural wealth into the classroom.
The final product will be an online teacher professional development program for ESL and classroom teachers to engage in a collaborative process to co-plan and align their instruction for English Learners. The final BELLA Online Professional Development program will include learning modules, video segments, micro-credential frameworks, rubrics and inter-rater reliability scoring, and the structure and guidelines for the communities of practice.

Since art fairs have been canceled I have been getting a lot of questions from other potters who haven't set up an online store or it isn't up to speed. As much as I would love chatting with everyone individually, I don't have the time or the mental capacity-I am in the same boat with everyone else, trying to keep my small business afloat.
You don't have to buy fancy lights, you can use natural daylight. Here is the set-up in my studio. A window and some painted wood back drops. Please make sure your photo is well lit. If you want to up the brightness digitally you can you free photo editing software like GIMP. I have used them before and it works great.
Nice photo! Crisp, clean, and bright. If you are going to use your phone to take photos please make sure and wipe the camera lens off. Ever see photos where it looks hazy? Yeah, the camera lens was dirty. Again, we want quality photos and quality photos come from the details. The photo above was just a quick snapshot to demonstrate a point. Taking a photo of a product is different than a quick snapshot of your dog or loved one. It is best to brace your arm/hand. You can balance your phone on a brick or even invest in a tripod (you can even get an extension for your cell phone).
If you are just starting out selling products online, I would recommend Etsy. If you already have your own website you can link to your Etsy store to shop. With Etsy you receive a 30-day free trial and after that it is $15 a month. Etsy fees are: "Once an item sells, there is a 5% transaction fee on the sale price (including the shipping price you set). If you accept payments through Etsy Payments, we also collect a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee when an item is sold."
If you don't currently have a large audience (email list, social media, etc.,) it be may help drive traffic to your store because Etsy is a large marketplace. (The counterpoint also could be there are lots of options to distract from your work, but that is a question you will have to ask yourself.)
You will need boxes. How do I determine what size box? For example, if the piece I am shipping is 5" tall and 5" wide. I use a box that is 7" X 7" X 7". You want to have enough room around your piece to absorb shock from falling or throwing (yes, throwing) your box.
You can wrap your piece in many different ways: with corrugated cardboard, Geami WrapPak, or bubble wrap. I would recommend going around your piece of pottery at least two times. Remember packing material is less expensive than the piece of pottery and the time and labor it will take to remake the piece.
Once the piece is wrapped, you need to surround it with either peanuts (please consider using biodegradable packing peanuts) or paper fill. I know a lot of people get those plastic air pillows and in my experience those don't work well for pottery. They shift too much and can pop, creating a large void in your package. A pot that moves in the box, is a pot that breaks in a box, so don't skimp on the fill material! That said, always buy insurance and check to see if insurance is included in your price when buying postage.
Listings are what is referred to the piece you are listing. Create a name that is descriptive and to the point. For example, blue coffee mug. Yep, that easy. It your listing include the dimensions of the piece your are selling, if it holds liquid the volumetric measurements are nice, if it comes in different colors, sizes, etc. I also recommend including how it will be wrapped, which carrier you use for shipping, and how soon it will ship.
I could go on and on, but I think this is a great start. You can always look at one of my listings as an example. If you have questions or comments please feel free to leave them below and I will answer them shortly.

For those who don't know, Bella, @bella.lombardi on Instagram is a total fashion guru with her podcast, Bitchin With Bella, and killer photography account, Pix by Bellz. Her outfits are to die for, and she's always on top of the latest trends and hottest brands. I mean if you are looking for some new fashion inspo, look no further.
Bella and I were able to talk and create this written interview for you girls and I would love to see you hotties join the conversation in the comments. You can hear more of Bella talk on Spotify or Instagram, and you know where to find me.
It took years to figure out my personal style but currently its all of my past aesthetics put into one. I also think thrifting helped me find my style and inspired me to go outside my comfort zone experimenting with different clothing pieces.
Definitely baggy low rise pants, the perfect baby tee, low rise pleated mini skirts, corset tops, baggy denim jackets, long denim skirts, bandanas, floral dainty tops, fit and flare mini dresses, baseball caps, light knit cropped cardigans.
I say just go out and do it! Get yourself a camera stand with a phone attachment, find somewhere with good lighting and just start taking outfit pics, i've been trying to become an influencer since 2014 so it's definitely a lot of work and based off of luck but there will always be someone who loves your content so just go for it! It's a fun way to show and grow your creativity.
I love Charlotte Tilbury, their foundation and lip liner are my absolute favorites. Rare beauty blush is the best blush i've ever used. Glossier mascara is great and Makeup by Mario plumping lip serum is to die for.
It's definitely tough ignoring all the comments i see about myself online especially when it's about my body because i've had insecurities and body dysmorphia for half my life but ive been on the internet for a while and spent all of high school getting bullied so ignoring the hate is something i had to learn. The secret to not letting people get to you is to think "Is this person important to me? Do they inspire me? Would i want to be them?" if the answer is no to those questions there's no reason to let them effect how you feel (:
