June 12, 2025

We have two new WIDA Webinars scheduled for 2025. These are free professional learning opportunities that span a wide range of topics related to multilingual learners. You can register to attend in real time or to get notified once the recording is posted. There are four additional WIDA Webinars coming your way in 2026, but here’s what we have planned for the rest of this year.

Supporting Writing Growth for Multilingual Learners

Writing instruction is an integral part of supporting multilingual learners’ academic growth. This webinar explores how to leverage the WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework to guide explicit language instruction. You’ll leave with practical strategies to help multilingual learners build the skills they need to be confident and effective writers.

Join professional learning curriculum specialist Hetal Ascher on Thursday, August 28, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. CT, to dive into this topic.

Instruction and Collaboration to Support Multilingual Learners With Disabilities

In this WIDA webinar, you’ll explore instructional planning and collaborative practices designed to meet the diverse strengths and needs of multilingual learners with disabilities. You’ll gain tools to support both language development and accessibility, along with strategies for fostering collaborative planning that brings together multiple perspectives to better understand the intersection of language and disability.

Join professional learning facilitator Lori Hanna and professional learning curriculum specialist Emily Kurth on Friday, October 17, from 11:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m. CT.
