Distance Learning for Highly Mobile Student Populations

DESCRIPTION

The highly mobile student population includes youth in foster care, on probation, who are homeless, who migrate, are newcomers to the US, live in military families, and students who are mobile for many other reasons. Highly mobile students can often be difficult to serve because of their school instability, system involvement, trauma they have suffered, learning English as a second language, and many other needs. Addressing the needs of highly mobile students requires thoughtful policies around enrollment/disenrollment, school stability, records sharing, issuing partial credits, ensuring children receive equity access to academic resources including special education supports and services, addressing trauma and social/emotional needs, and supporting them through graduation. Utilizing the lessons learned through a CCEE network focused on foster youth, attendees will hear about best practices utilized by six districts in LA county to address the needs of youth in foster care.

Designing Distance Learning with an Equity Lens

DESCRIPTION

In order to move toward equity, leaders and educators must “remove the predictability of success and failure that currently correlates with any social, economic, or cultural factor” (National Equity Project). Guided by reflective questions, you will gain valuable insight in planning distance learning to support equitable outcomes for your students, families, and communities, this session is an invitation to slow down and think reflectively about designing equitable distance learning plans. We will examine six equity-focused leadership considerations and pose questions to ourselves and our systems to design responsive learning opportunities.
