High-Quality Distance Learning Resources for English Learners


In these unprecedented times, it is extremely important to continue to support our English learner (ELs) by providing high-quality resources for distance/virtual learning. For ELs, this means offering content area supports and providing resources to help them develop their English proficiency and support their native/home language. Join us as we highlight several high-quality resources for ELs that provide important strategies and scaffolds for content area learning and help them continue to develop their English language proficiency at home.

Presenters: Megan Alubicki-Flick, Education Consultant, CSDE; and Gladys Labas, Director of Equity and Language, CSDE
