The Power of Stories for Equity-Focused School Transformation (CABE 2023)
.png){kind=spacer}
In California, 1.4 million students in our K-12 public school system are English Learners, and 60% of all children 0-5 years old are Dual Language Learners who speak a language other than English at home.
This number will only continue to grow, and it is critical that our schools treat them with asset-based approaches. SEAL’s Executive Director Anya Hurwitz along with California school leaders and educators will share how they’re working to center the assets and needs of their multilingual learners and demonstrate that it’s possible.
This interactive session will provide participants with turn-key strategies that can be used to inspire in their own school communities and create equity focused school transformation. Participants will receive copies of The SEAL Case Study Series.
