In this webinar
Our Product Manager, Kathleen Colburn, will walk you through how you can implement simple technology tools to help support your ELLs, making them feel connected and as if they belong in every classroom.
Kathleen will cover features in both Read+Write as well as Co:Writer that will help students gain independence by helping them succeed in:

- Feel a greater sense of safety, belonging, and connection.
- Can gain cultural context and understanding from instruction.
