Why Culture Matters:
Implementing High-Impact Blended Learning Solutions to Promote Academic
Achievement among English Language Learners
Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2014
Time: 02:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Duration: 1 hour
With more than four million English
Language Learners (ELL) – and growing – in U.S. schools, districts
across the country are struggling to find effective, affordable
solutions that promote achievement for non-native English speakers. Many
ELL programs fail students by only focusing on the integration of
content and language while ignoring the cultural and socio-economic
challenges many of these students face on a daily basis.
This session, led by renowned ELL
expert Jim Cummins, will discuss effective digital and classroom-based
solutions that balance proven ELL curriculum modules with a deeper
understanding of how to overcome the cultural challenges facing new
arrivals to our country. The presentation will also include concrete
examples of these successful strategies that teachers and administrators
can apply to their own ELL programs.
