Join us for a webinar to discuss the critical need for supporting multilingual learners (ML) within Advanced Placement (AP) and Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) programs. Multilingual students bring unique perspectives and talents to our educational communities, yet they often face barriers in accessing advanced coursework. Join the AIG, ML/Title III, and School Counselor Teams for a special webinar on ML's academic growth and success in secondary schools. During the webinar, we will explore practical strategies and best practices aimed at fostering inclusion and success for MLs in AIG and AP programming.
