Supporting English Learners After the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond The U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) is hosting a webinar on Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 3:00 PM ET on the need for increased support for ELs after the COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar will summarize the existing documented impacts of COVID-19 on ELs and focus on ways in which local educational agencies (LEAs) and State educational agencies (SEAs) can provide enhanced support for ELs post-pandemic. Webinar attendees will reflect on how their individual LEAs and SEAs experienced these impacts with their own ELs and will discuss evidence-based practices that could increase language development and academic achievement for ELs in a post-pandemic educational climate.
