Emergent Bilingual and Texas Newcomer Webinar Series
Join Laura and Stephany in part one of our Multilingual Learner Symposium for Texas Administrators to gain information for planning and developing effective school systems that support Emergent Bilingual students. They explore evidence-based practices and real-life success stories from schools that meet these students' social, emotional, and educational needs as they acquire English.
You'll walk away with actionable ideas and insights to strengthen your support systems and make a lasting impact on your students' learning journeys.
