*Session #7: Supporting our Immigrant and Refugee Children Through the Power of Reading
Key Take Aways:
The Newcomer Cohort is pleased to partner with Scholastic to offer a virtual session with author Dr. Don Vu on how to support our immigrant and refugee students through the power of reading. As a former refugee, teacher, and principal Don’s literacy commitment for all students is powerful. This engaging session will spark conversations and inspire educators to explore diversity and build a culture of literacy in classrooms and schools. Dr. Vu’s session is open to educators at all levels. This is a great opportunity for teachers to reflect on the literacy culture of their classrooms and for CLDE departments to collaborate with colleagues in your Literacy office to transform reading opportunities for all students.
