** Homeroom with Education Leaders | Beyond Language Barriers: Ensuring Success for ELLs in U.S. Schools
------------------------------------------------------------

Today, there is almost no region in the U.S. untouched by ELLs. Despite this growing population, ELLs are often misidentified as students with disabilities or neglected instead of receiving necessary support or accommodations to aid language acquisition. Join The Hunt Institute for a critical conversation on what barriers to success exist for the ELL population and what we can do to ensure that their unique needs are being met both inside and outside of the classroom.
