Dyslexia Guidelines and Implications for ELS<\/strong> – August 30th, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sherine Tabyaraja (ODE) will provide an overview of the Ohio Dyslexia Law and Dyslexia Guidebook. Successful implementation of the Ohio Dyslexia support law will require implementation of various practices grounded in the Science of reading approach.

These requirements have the potential for a significant positive impact on all learners, including English learners. For English Learners to benefit from these practices, several unique considerations need to be made by school teams. Milena Varbanova, Marie Kobayashi, and Wendy Strickler will provide practical guidance around integrating language and other background information in individual student decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Exited EL Students<\/strong> – May 2nd, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers of English Learners become adept at knowing the needs of the students they\u2019re serving daily. It becomes more challenging when teachers are tasked with supporting the needs of former English learners who have exited regular EL support. The U.S Department of Education requires districts to monitor exited English Learners\u2019 academic progress for two years. It requires intervention when a student demonstrates they cannot participate in instructional programs comparable to their peers meaningfully. The presenters will share strategies for supporting this group of students to ensure they can be successful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
