Our classrooms are made up of students with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. In some cases, our students are learning a new language in addition to discipline-specific content.
Multi-language learners require intentional support to improve their fluency both reading and writing. What do those strategies look like in teachers’ planning and instruction, especially when teachers do not speak their students’ home language?
We are talking to Marcia Garcia Underwood, founder and CEO of M Ideas Consulting Services, and Lauren Midgette, a professional development coach at CPET. Both of our guests today will be sharing their most effective strategies to support multi-language learners based on their years of classroom and coaching experience.
