Opening Session and Student Panel: Empowering LTELs Through Reflection, Research and Action

Tuesday April 29, 2025 8:45am - 9:40am PDT

At Helix High our LTEL students, particularly 9th graders, were unaware of their language proficiency status. To address this, they created a unit to be used at the beginning of the school year aimed at helping students understand their EL/LTEL status and empowering them to overcome their academic and linguistic challenges. In this session, they will share both the unit and student voices.

Much of our current system of education is designed for a mythically average student.

We will engage in a troubleshooting protocol utilizing UDL to address DA indicators including academics (e.g. mathematics), chronic absenteeism, and/or suspension.

So many efforts and initiatives require family and community engagement yet education leaders who often have good intentions find that their efforts do not produce the results they hope for. In this experiential session, participants will learn from diverse perspectives in an interactive format from “panelists” who have experience navigating the education system as parents. In the spirit of prioritizing deep shifts over quick fixes in our improvement work, this session aims to provide a space to slow down and listen before moving to action with a focus on root causes and critical self-reflection. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and contribute to the discussion in this flipped panel format.
