In this session, we will: - Reflect on asset-based mindsets for working with Long-Term English Learners (LTELs) with IEPs - Practice using student evidence to recognize and amplify the unique linguistic strengths that Long-Term English Learners bring to the classroom - Create actionable steps for applying asset-based practices within your own context, ensuring better outcomes for all students - Challenge the deficit narrative surrounding the intersection of LTEL students with IEPs
