Getting to Know Your English Language Learners
Tuesday July 30, 2024 12:30pm - 2:00pm PDT
MetWest High School - Dolores Huerta Campus
OUSD is a linguistically rich district with almost 35% (11,856 students) of our students across the district designated as English language learners (ELLs). As a district, we believe our ELLs can achieve at high levels with the right supports. We believe our ELLs bring tremendous assets to their learning and to that of their community. Finally, we believe all educators are responsible for ELLs; therefore, all teachers are language teachers. This is an introductory session to review different ways you can get to know your ELLs so you can connect with and teach them more effectively in your classes.
