Next week, we’re sitting down with Dr. Samuel Ortiz to talk about one of the most critical and often misunderstood parts of special education: evaluating English/Multilingual Learners (EL/MLs) fairly and accurately. Too often, they’re tested using tools and norms that don’t account for developmental differences in their cultural and language backgrounds, which affect performance. The result? Inaccurate conclusions, delayed support for those who need it, and unnecessary placements for those who don’t. In this free live webinar, Dr. Ortiz will share research-backed approaches for differentiating difference versus disorder, ensuring test score validity and using “true peer” comparisons to get an accurate picture of a student’s performance and true abilities — without requiring evaluators to be bilingual. 📅 Thursday, August 21, 2025 🕒 10:00am PT | 12:00pm CT | 1:00pm ET Reserve your spot today and join the conversation on how to make EL/ML testing more equitable and effective: https://lnkd.in/gvHfvHmX #SpecialEducation #SchoolPsychology #EducationalEquity #Webinar #MarkerLearning

That’s a wrap for #TCASEInteractive25! We left the conference more energized than ever by the conversations we had with our clients and with special education leaders across Texas. From standing-room-only sessions (including a powerful talk by our Chief Clinical Officer Samuel Ortiz on the ethical and responsible use of AI in report writing) to spontaneous chats at our booth and events, to clients sharing how they’ve saved hundreds of hours of evaluation time with Marker and passing those insights along to other SpEd leaders, one thing was clear: the demands on Special Education teams have never been higher and the need for secure, clinically grounded tools that enable teams to focus on what matters most is bigger than ever. Huge thank you to our clients who shared their success stories and data with other district leaders, we are thrilled to be able to support you - you are all superheroes! Special shoutout to Erin LemMon for jumping in with two feet at her first Marker conference! #TCASE2025 #SpecialEducation #SchoolPsychology #EdLeadership #AIinEducation #EdTech #MarkerLearning
