Description: Engaging English learners (ELs) in any instructional setting requires alignment of classroom, school, and district-level practices. This coherence becomes even more critical when schools need to pivot between a variety of possible scenarios of school operation. In preparation for fall opening of schools, during this 90-minute webinar, panelists will: review the equal access legislative context for EL education; present a theory of action that reflects both the legislative context and foundations for EL education; present a sample of evidence-based instructional practices for ELs that support rigorous teaching and learning; and address systemic actions and leadership strategies that participants may use to support educators within their contexts.
Join presenters from the Office of English Language Acquisition, Department of Justice, and REL West for a discussion on administering EL programs and instruction in the upcoming 2020-21 school year.
Audience: This webinar is designed to support EL program administrators at state and local education agencies.
Speakers:
- Molly Faulkner-Bond, WestEd
- Mary Schmida, WestEd
- Emily McCarthy, U.S. Department of Justice
