(2020) Working from Home (WFH)! A panel of Migrant Education staff will kick off the discussion by sharing their own experiences working from home. Join the conversation with your own challenges and successes.

(2020) In this workshop, we will consider ways that Migrant Educators can support and develop SIFE students’ emergent literacy skills. Working with NYSED’s definition of SIFE, “ELLs who are two or more years below grade level in literacy in their home language,” (NYSED, 2019), a key role for Migrant Educators is to help improve students’ literacy skills in English. Participants will explore the difference between decoding text and reading for comprehension, and think about the necessary interdependence of these two processes in building a successful reader.
