Description: Robin Rivas offers tips on how to continue to support content learning and EL students’ language proficiency during distance learning. Whether you are working with students online in a synchronous or asynchronous environment or students do not have access to the internet we will discuss supports to continue building academic vocabulary and linguistic proficiency along with sheltering content with our EL students. Robin will also provide an in-depth look at digital learning resources that can strengthen the virtual instruction of ELs.

In this series, participants will:
1) receive an overview of the types of digital learning resources available to support ELs
2) learn about key findings on supporting ELs through technology from the 2019 National Study of English Learners and Digital Learning Resources.
3) receive recommendations and resources from two useful toolkits: the Educator Toolkit and the Developers Toolkit.
4) learn about strategies and techniques in sheltering instruction in a virtual setting.

Part 2: September 30 via Zoom, 9:00am - 12pm CST
