Creating cultures of belonging in EAL: Supporting new arrivals
In this session in collaboration with FlashAcademy®, hear from an experienced EAL lead around how to create a culture of belonging for new EAL arrivals. From first day processes to whole-school approaches and practical classroom strategies, we'll be covering:
Why belonging and psychological safety matters to the learning process
Trauma-informed approaches for settling new arrivals from displaced communities
Getting started with assessing English language proficiency
Embedding technology, such as FlashAcademy® to support a whole-school approach
Ideas for activities to help settle learners with very limited proficiency
