WOYC Children who are English Language Learners who also have Disabilities
Training
Join us during the Week of the Young Child to explore strategies that address the needs of dual language learners who also have identified special needs. This session is geared for early childhood teachers interested in developing the skills needed to meet students where they are and remove barriers to learning. This hands-on workshop will explore a collaborative approach to creating safe, supportive, and universally designed learning environments for all young scholars to play, explore, and express themselves creatively.
