How do you accommodate non-Dutch speaking newcomers in the classroom?: Podcast

In this podcast we talk about the care of foreign-speaking newcomers (AN) in the classroom. This is a very intense process not only for the students, but also for the school and the teachers. After all, children end up in an educational system that they do not know, in a language that they often do not understand at all. Together with teacher Wendy and teacher Linde, we look at what you can do at the school and in the classroom to ensure that these students also find their place.
