SUMMARY:How to Support Multilingual Learners Who Have Had Limited/Interrupted Education
DESCRIPTION:Multilingual Learners (MLs) come to us with various assets. At times\, some of our MLs have had interrupted or inadequate education in their home countries due to many factors. These Students with Limited or Interrupted Education (SLIFE) arrive in our classrooms eager to learn but without the tools necessary to be successful. \nIt is easy to feel overwhelmed in these situations. Luckily\, there are some simple strategies and resources that can help your SLIFE students make great strides. This workshop will share with participants ways to measure students’ basic abilities and then use that information to build a program to support them from where they are. Please be warned that this is not a quick fix as there are sometimes years of learning loss to remediate. Fortunately\, the SLIFE students will feel motivated and engaged once they are achieving at their level and the gaps will be closed at an increasing rate.”

SUMMARY:Providing Sex Education with Cultural Humility
DESCRIPTION:Do you incorporate reproductive justice in your education? Do you know how to properly use the theory of intersectionality? Are you culturally humble? Many educators are unaware of how culture can influence the way comprehensive sex education is taught by teachers and received by students. Our workshop focus of cultural humility allows educators to develop their ability to build appreciation for the diversity of cultures found inside and outside of their classrooms\, which helps to increase their inclusivity. This training will address the difference between cultural proficiency/competency and cultural humility\, measure one’s own intercultural humility using the Intercultural Development Continuum\, as well as concrete definitions and activities.
