Join EALA & Gradient Learning for an interactive webinar exploring the power of belonging and student voice in today’s classrooms. Research shows that when students feel seen, heard, and valued, they are more engaged, motivated, and ready to thrive. Together, we’ll share practical strategies and real-world examples of how schools can foster stronger connections, elevate student perspectives, and build a culture where every learner knows they matter.

Join us for an insightful webinar about how educators, district leaders, and advocates can support and protect all of their students. Recent notices from the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services regarding immigrants’ eligibility for federally funded programs have caused confusion and concern among practitioners, providers, and immigrant communities.
