Meeting the needs of growing numbers of English Learners. Plus, OEA Nights with the Cavs and Blue Jackets.

<p><em>Across Ohio, educators are contending with growing caseloads of English Learners (ELs) while fighting for the supports and resources they need to meet their students' needs. Members of the Ohio Education Association's EL Cadre are coming together to support each other in that fight and to advocate for the students they serve. On this episode of Public Education Matters, two EL Cadre members set the record straight about what it takes to deliver a high-quality education to every student - no exceptions - and why EL educators need to have a meaningful voice in conversations at every level. Plus, we're talking about opportunities for all educators in Ohio to enjoy deals and fan experiences at upcoming NHL and NBA games.</em></p><p><strong>GET YOUR TICKETS | </strong>For full information and to purchase tickets for Educator Appreciation Night games with the Columbus Blue Jackets, <a href="https://www.ohea.org/resources/all/blue-jackets-tickets/"><strong>click here</strong></a>.
