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.

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Toolkit: Using research-based tools to promote equity for English Learners (LCAP Toolkit) is a resource for educators, families, and community members to ensure that the LCAP—the state’s public accountability mechanism— reflects how actions, services, programs, and resources are made visible to ensure equitable opportunities and outcomes for English Learners. The LCAP Toolkit consists of four parts that can be used together or independently. Part I presents information pertaining to policy, background, and LCAP Toolkit development. Part II introduces the English Learner Research-Aligned LCAP Rubrics. Part III offers four additional resources and tools that support the applied use of the rubrics by engaging EL-focused networks in developing, analyzing, and refining LCAP plans.
