The assignment requires creating a 15-20 slide digital presentation in two parts to educate colleagues on meeting the needs of specific English Language Learners (ELLs). Part 1 focuses on the characteristics and factors affecting language acquisition among Long-Term English Learners (LTELs), Recently Arrived English Learners (RAELs), and Students with Interrupted Formal Education (SIFEs), while Part 2 recommends culturally inclusive practices and resources for empowering ELL families. The presentation should include examples of materials, strategies for inclusivity, and the importance of home-school partnerships, along with presenter’s notes and scholarly references.
