Dear SEAL partners,
We know that this extended school closure means districts are scrambling to develop strategies to teach students online and remotely. We, at SEAL, are working hard to develop resources to support your work, especially to ensure your Dual Language/English Learner students are being supported in the best possible ways as you develop distance learning plans and lessons.
Meanwhile, we are also working to pull together a curated set of resources that address the specific needs of Dual Language/English Learners, as well as professional learning opportunities and tools for teachers. We have already reached out to SEAL coaches to provide direct support and share some initial online resources for teachers to share with families. In the coming days, our SEAL District Relations Administrator will be reaching out individually to each district leader point of contact to see how we can be supportive to your principals, teachers, and families.
We will continue to follow up throughout the coming weeks and months to highlight and share various strategies and resources that we hope will support school communities during this unprecedented and challenging time. Please reach out with questions, ideas, and ways to collaborate. We are in this together!
Sending well wishes to you and your families!
Anya Hurwitz, Ed.D.
Executive Director
