In this Learning in Lake Oswego episode, our superintendent explores LOSD's English Learner (EL) program, which supports over 50 languages spoken across the district. She is joined by EL specialist Ewa Chomka-Campbell and student Roman Kuleski to highlight how the program helps multilingual learners thrive academically and socially. Ewa shares insights into her role, strategies for creating culturally inclusive lessons, and the program's goals. Roman reflects on his journey from learning English as a 6th grader to exiting the program in 9th grade and offers advice to fellow students navigating similar challenges. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the dedication behind LOSD’s EL program and its positive impact on students' lives.
