Deepening and accelerating learning, removing systemic barriers, and promoting success for English Learners in community, college,
and career.
WHAT'S NEW
This module explores the challenges many multilingual learners face as they navigate public schooling and prepare for their futures. It will prepare you to set high expectations and provide high levels of scaffolding in order to enable them to read, write, and critique complex disciplinary texts at the secondary level while simultaneously maintaining a strong sense of the value of their linguistic and cultural resources in a multilingual world.
OUR STUDIES
