Culturally competent educators who embrace linguistic diversity are vital in removing barriers to accessing rigorous core curricula for Standard English Learners (SELs). An understanding of culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy that builds on the language, learning styles, cultural competencies and experiences of students, is prerequisite for ensuring equity for SELs in accessing rigorous standards-based curricula.

This seminar is designed to build knowledge about issues of language variation in Standard English Learner (SEL) populations and to pose new schemas for building on the language, learning styles and strengths of SELs to advance learning.
