I am excited to tell you that
WIDA will be offering a free webinar this Friday, April 26, 2013 on
one of the hottest topics in our work with English language learners (ELLs). The webinar will be about how we as educators
respond to ELLs that are experiencing difficulties in school.
This webinar will be
presented by Cristina Sanchez-Lopez and Laurie Donnell, the lead developers of
the WIDA RtI² for ELLs document. It will
be interactive. Participants will learn
about seven important factors in understanding ELLs’ development, and they will
have a chance to complete a sample screening protocol that will assist schools and districts
in gathering data along these critical factors.
Participants will also view real examples from school districts across
the consortium while learning how WIDA tools and resources can be used within an RtI² framework. Interested in joining
the webinar?
