This is Part 2 of the comprehensive webinar series on the Department of Education’s Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) Newcomer Toolkit. Part 2 of the series continued to explore the Newcomer Toolkit and discussed the social, emotional, and mental health of newcomer students and how these factors affect their access to equitable education (Chapter 3). Presentations highlighted both research and practice perspectives. The panelists discussed how they support newcomer students in light of the unique stressors these students may be experiencing. They also covered how to create trauma-sensitive school environments, promote resilience through positive interactions and relationships, and support educators in meeting their students’ unique social, emotional, and mental health needs, while providing equitable and high-quality instruction.
