Our English Learners with Disabilities Resource Hub receives content updates twice a semester, featuring informative videos on important topics related to this population of students.  To complement each video, participants can further engage through a virtual Q&A session or an in-person workshop. These sessions offer a deeper understanding of the content and allow interactive discussions.

This month's topic focuses on the assessment process for English learners with suspected disabilities and features an interview with Elizabeth Stringer-Nunley (Galax City Schools interpreter and EL lead) and Jason Kohl (Galax City Schools School Psychologist and 504 coordinator).  You can watch a portion of our interview with them here or visit our English Learners with Disabilities Resource Hub to view the entire conversation.
