Making Champions: Engaging Our EL and ESE/SPED Learners

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Mindsets Learning.The webinar recording can be accessed here.Student engagement is fundamental to learning. Ask any K-12 school administrator in the United States which subgroups show the most modest academic gains, and their answer is remarkably consistent: special populations, particularly, English learners (ELs) and ESE learners/students with special needs. Despite significant financial investment made by U.S. school districts, “moving the needle” for these learners remains stubbornly elusive. Yet great attention is paid by state legislatures to seek, discover and implement successful strategies for these worthy learners. Which strategies meaningfully engage EL students and bridge content and language? What approaches to learning bring relevance and cultural connection to ELs? Given the variety of learning disabilities and processing challenges, how do schools position the most appropriate strategies and support to our ESE learners and students with special needs and their teachers? Listen to this edWeb podcast with school leaders from diverse regions of the U.S. as they share candid and concrete strategies of engagement with all participants. This edWeb podcast is of interest to school, district, and education technology leaders of the middle and high school levels.Mindsets LearningMindsets Learning re-engages students in math through inquiry based, real world challenges.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
