Trauma Informed SEL Support for English Language Learners with Dr. Jordan González
Description:
This webinar will provide a review of the data in developing an understanding of the traumatic stress that ELLs are currently experiencing, with special attention to the COVID-19 pandemic, unaccompanied minors, refugees and forced migration, and the Afghan evacuees.
