DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION & ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS CONFERENCE
FRIDAY, NOV. 11, 2022
ELL AND DEI: What is there to know about our ELLs? Sessions will take a close look at who our ELLs are, their role in our communities, the challenges they face, and what we as individual players at the College can do to support them. The highlight of the conference will be the ELL student panel so that we hear from students themselves!

9:40 a.m. Who Are Our ELLs?
This session will paint a full picture of who our ELLs are, not only as students here at the College, but as community members in and as assets to our city; after all, ELLs make up 13% of the Philadelphia population and are part of the very fabric of the city. Current student and city data, both quantitative and qualitative, will inform this presentation.
10:20 a.m. Student Panel
This session will introduce conference participants to current and former CCP students who have been through part or all of our academic ESL sequence. Panelists will share their experiences of challenges and successes at CCP and in the community at large. The second half of this session will be dedicated to a Q&A session.

11:25 a.m. What Can Faculty Do to See and Meet Students Where They Are?
Working in small groups led by facilitators, this session will see participants discussing potential modifications to their approach toward ELLs inside and outside the classroom with the ultimate goal of being more inclusive and equitable.
