S3E18 - Distance Learning and English Language Learners w/Larry Ferlazzo

Larry “The Legend” Ferlazzo joins us today to discuss the impact that distance learning has had on the nation’s 4.9 million English Language Learners. The prolific blog writer, author of 12 books including the ELL Teacher’s Toolbox, and current high school teacher Larry Ferlazzo helps us unpack the challenges educators face in meeting the needs of English Language Learners right now, and how schools can best support students under these less than ideal circumstances. As Larry’s work has also appeared in publications like the NY Times and Education Week, we also discuss Larry’s journey from community organizer to the classroom and the importance of educator voice in policy debates and public discourse around education. Plus, a major metropolitan school district adopts the “Give them all A’s” policy! ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** SEMINAR: - Serving ELLs with Larry Ferlazzo (9:46) - Larry Ferlazzo on Edublog.org: https://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/about/ - Classroom Q&A with Larry Ferlazzo on Education Week: http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/classroom_qa_with_larry_ferlazzo/ - Find Larry’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Larry-Ferlazzo/e/B0028OK9ZW - Instructional Strategies for the ELL Teacher Toolbox (Ed Week video): https://video.edweek.org/detail/videos/teaching-and-learning/video/5773984531001/instructional-strategies-for-an-%E2%80%98ell-teacher-s-toolbox%E2%80%99?autoStart=true&cmp=cpc-goog-ew-dynamic+ads&ccid=dynamic+ads&ccag=english+language+learners+dynamic&cckw=&cccv=dynamic+ad&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl7n6-s6E6QIVHx-tBh2X5AGJEAAYASAAEgIoY_D_BwE Get MORE All of the Above: Website - https://aotashow.com/ Podcast via Apple Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-of-the-above-podcast/id1339198232 Podcast via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4NO3FENVr96JJTU4ZjdnCm Podcast via Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/aotashow Podcast via Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/all-of-the-above-show/all-of-the-above?refid=stpr Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/AOTAshow/
