About the Event
Connecting Classrooms, Empowering Learners: Virtual English Language Instruction in Rural Spaces
How do rural school districts provide English language instruction when they don't have a licensed specialist on site? They innovate! Join me to discover how our virtual program connects immigrant K–12 students directly from their brick-and-mortar classrooms to interactive, live English instruction. Learn how we built a collaborative online space that ensures high-need language learners never fall through the cracks no matter where they live.
Ann Marchant is an English Language Development (ELD) Teacher at the Rural Virtual Academy where she specializes in supporting K–12 newcomers and expanding English learners. Over the course of her 24 year career, Ann has also taught in the New York City Public Schools and Stevens Point, WI Public Schools, bringing a wealth of diverse experience to language acquisition.
