WIDA Facilitated Virtual Workshop: When Language and Disability Meet
February 18 - February 25

Description:
This workshop examines ideas that guide, support, and strengthen instructional planning practices for students who are identified as English learners (ELs) with disabilities. In this workshop, participants will learn about the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) alongside instructional planning considerations from the WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards Framework. Participants will explore specific considerations for instruction that support both language development and accessibility. Participants will also examine how collaborative conversations can be framed around student intersections of language and disability to facilitate the communication of information that positively impacts the decisions educators make for instructional planning.
Registration is open until December 11 , or when the workshop reaches capacity of 60 seats.
