Advocating for Every Learner: Lessons from the UK and Reflections from Australia
How can education systems better recognise and respond to the diverse strengths and needs of English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners who also experience disability or learning differences?
Join Simone Cassidy, 2024 Churchill Fellowship recipient, as she shares insights from her UK study journey exploring inclusive practices at the intersection of EAL and SEND. This presentation will highlight promising approaches, systemic challenges, and the importance of culturally and linguistically responsive support. Simone will also offer reflections from the Australian context, advocating for strengthened pathways that ensure no learner is left behind.
