As a leader in my district, the EL program is committed in contacting each and every EL family to see what they need. #loveelkids #provideaccess

[Education Week @educationweek]

English-learners often lack access to technology at home, experts and educators say, and their teachers are less likely to assign them to use digital learning resources outside of class. #ELL https://t.co/EstqMmFB79

As we struggle to meet the educational needs of all students, it can be especially hard to meet the needs of ELs. These amazing and talented students are often impacted the highest, so having resources for them to acces during school closures is imperative. #elstrong #techfree

[Maria Montroni-Currais @MrsMCEDU]

I'm ready to send this home with my K-8 #ELL students if needed. As much as I love and use #edtech, these are all #techfree. They only need pencils, paper, and things they can find at home. Google Drive: https://t.co/Y47zl9ngvF #ellchat #ESL

Change can be uncomfortable but it needs to happen in order to make the right impact.
So you hired an equity leader. Now what? https://t.co/7VkiMgjsN3

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

"English-language learners are severely underrepresented in gifted and talented education programs in the nation's K-12 schools—and the problem may be rooted in the procedures and policies that schools use to identify gifted students."
