Distance Learning and Serving ELLs w/Larry Ferlazzo - Season 3 Episode 18

Larry “The Legend” Ferlazzo joins us today to discuss the impact that distance learning has had on the nation’s 4.9 million English Language Learners. The prolific blog writer, author of 12 books including the ELL Teacher’s Toolbox, and current high school teacher Larry Ferlazzo helps us unpack the challenges educators face in meeting the needs of English Language Learners right now, and how schools can best support students under these less than ideal circumstances. As Larry’s work has also appeared in publications like the NY Times and Education Week, we also discuss Larry’s journey from community organizer to the classroom and the importance of educator voice in policy debates and public discourse around education. Plus, a major metropolitan school district adopts the “Give them all A’s” policy!
