5th Annual 2nd Language Learning & Disabilities Conference Coming Soon!
The Second-Language Learning Disabilities Conference is a project on inclusive classrooms. An inclusive classroom is one where all the differences students bring are represented in the curriculum. Among these are learning differences, which add another challenge to the efforts of rethinking our curriculums, addressing the inequality between different groups, and building more inclusive classrooms. The challenge is to articulate content in a way that ensures we are facilitating learning for all our students.
Our Annual Conference provides a forum for educators from the United States and abroad.
