S4/E27: Reimagining EL Education Series: Lori Villanueva - Superintendent of Coalinga-Huron Unified School District, CA

from Highest Aspirations · host Ellevation Education

On this edition of our Reimagining EL Education series, we talk with Lori Villanueva, Superintendent of Coalinga-Huron Unified School District in California's Central Valley.  She and her staff created an inspirational music video to share with students and families during school closures. The video has had a resounding effect on boosting morale, making connections, and keeping the lines of communication open in the school community. We also discuss what the future of EL education might look like in the face of learning loss, budget constraints, and technology challenges. Superintendent Villanueva points to strengthening partnerships with families and meeting students where they are as key elements of success moving forward.  For more information and free resources to help engage English learners and their families from wherever they are, visit our Ellevation Distance Learning website.
