Empowering Educators: Implementing the ELs with Disabilities Guidance Manual

High Plains Regional Education Cooperative #3

Location: High Plains Regional Education Cooperative101 N Second StreetRaton, New Mexico 87740 Join us for the training on the new 6-Module Canvas Course, developed by Dr. Jamey Burho, to prepare educators to identify and serve English learner (EL) students with disabilities. The Canvas Course is based on the NMPED’s Identifying and Serving ELs with Disabilities Guidance Manual The disproportionate representation of English learner (EL) students in special education is especially relevant to New Mexico where, according to the New Mexico Public Education Department’s Technical Evaluation and Assessment Manual, there is “a history of over-identification of children from diverse backgrounds as children with disabilities, particularly in the areas of specific learning disability and speech or language impairment.” EL students bring to school a wealth of cultural and linguistic assets as well as unique language learning needs that must be taken into consideration. Language development requires time. EL students must not be viewed as having a disability simply because they are not yet proficient in English. Please note the following items:* NMPED Language and Culture Division and SSFS Bureau will NOT offer stipends, mileage reimbursements, meal reimbursements, lodging reimbursements, or lunch for this training.* Please bring a charged laptop.----If you have questions about the event, please contact Kirsi Laine, <a href="mailto:Kirsi.laine@ped.nm.gov" title="mailto:Kirsi.laine@ped.nm.gov" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kirsi.laine@ped.nm.gov</a> at NMPED.
