learners with disabilities, collaboration will be ever more essential (Hamayan et al.,
2023). During the webinar, we will discuss response to intervention (RtI), multi-
system of supports (MTSS), universal design for learning (UDL), and the language
experience approach (LEA), all of the options which you may utilize to support
your students. We will also discuss the difficulties of using visuals-a prevalent
strategy in language instruction- when it comes to students with visual impairments
(Hamayan et al., 2023; Moore & Peréz-Méndez, 2011; Zacarian, 2011).
I hope that you will leave the session with (1) an ability to discuss the
importance of being aware of one's community's superdiversity, (2) the differences
between English and dual language learners and their needs, (3) share some
considerations to be aware of when working with multilingual learners, (4) have an
overall understanding of interventions and supports available, and lastly (5) share
and recommend activities to engage with learners based on foundational
approaches when working with multilingual learners.
I look forward to seeing you on Friday, February 24
