Finding the Golden Thread for Multilingual Learners With Disabilities

In this webinar, WestEd experts will explore how cross-disciplinary collaboration is the golden thread that supports educators in confidently creating inclusive, cohesive instruction that expands students’ English language skills while deepening their access to grade-level content. Anchored in an Inclusive Pedagogy Framework for students at the intersection of bilingualism and disability, this webinar will dive into the foundation that holds this framework together: collaboration. Collaboration is the essential component for all individuals working with a student, including general educators, English language teachers, and special educators.  

Recognizing the assets of multilingualism, collaborative teacher teams including general educators, English language teachers, and special educators work together in instructional planning and decision-making to ensure that all students at the intersection of bilingualism and disability can access grade-level content. 

Participants will leave with concrete strategies and resources for cross-disciplinary collaboration and instructional planning that address both the language and learning needs of Multilingual Learners with disabilities.
