The Center for Applied Linguistics will be holding a free webinar, “Building Educational Communities of Inclusion in PreK-12 Setting,” on April 25 from 1 to 2 PM Eastern Time.

Students from non-English-speaking backgrounds are the fastest growing segment of the K-12 student population in the United States. An increasing number of these students are newcomers – recent arrivals who have limited or no English language proficiency and who often have had limited formal education in their native countries.

In this webinar, the presenters will outline the context for increased diversity in school settings, examine the critical role played by cultural proficiency in successfully welcoming and orienting newcomers to their schools and communities, and explore examples of approaches that increase educational access and opportunity for every student.
