Reaching Students with Interrupted or Limited Educatio

Target Audience: All teachers

Presenter: Julie Kanagy, ESOL Lead Teacher

Students with both limited English proficiency and interrupted formal education (SIFE) are increasing in schools. These students often come into the classroom as immigrant students who have arrived in the US as refugees; fleeing war, persecution and other situations that have had a negative impact on their educational experiences. This session will use the book "Boosting Achievement Reaching Students with Interrupted or Minimal Education" by Carol Salva to introduce strategies teachers can use to help these students.
