Equitable Practices for ELLs: Unlocking Possibilities Webinar (Recording)

Presenter(s): Daniella Maglione, Ed.S. , Gloria Maccow, Ph.D.

This webinar will describe a best-practices approach that takes cultural and linguistic factors into account when assessing ELL students. This approach produces valid assessment results to determine eligibility for direct specialized instruction, identify cognitive and academic strengths and needs, and assist in reducing the misidentification of ELLs for Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs.
