6 Key Considerations for Supporting English Learners with Distance Learning
"At SEAL, our mission is for all English Learners in California to learn, thrive, and lead. During this moment, we need to ask the question, 'What considerations for distance learning do teachers need to make in order to place English Learners at the forefront?' We hope this serves as a contribution to what will need to be an ever-growing conversation about how we serve our ELs in this crazy time.

Learning without Barriers: Supporting English Learners during Distance Learning
"The move to virtual environments for teaching and learning raises many questions about access, including for students whose first language is not English. These students may not have access to the language supports they usually receive during the school day. Non-verbal cues are more limited. And in a time when parents are an essential part of the teaching team, educators may be challenged to communicate with those who speak another language."

Practical Strategies and Resources for EL Distance Learning
"Broadening our perspectives and a deeper understanding of our students can greatly help us to build more successful programming. To do this, it’s critical to learn as much as we can about students’ and families’ personal, social, cultural, and life experiences and partner with them on behalf of their children’s academic and social-emotional development."
