From Strategy to System: Growing Inclusive Instruction Districtwide with GLAD

Friday April 24, 2026 11:15am - 12:15pm PDT

Ballroom I, Yakima Convention Center

This session explores how a district can scale inclusive, research-based instructional strategies—using GLAD—to strengthen language development, student engagement, and equitable access to grade-level content for all learners. Participants will walk away with one district’s map of structures for training, coaching, and sustaining practices that support multilingual learners and all students based on experiences growing GLAD in a district with 10,000 students.
