K-12 math standards (and learning in general) require students to share their thinking, discuss strategy, evaluate options, explain processes, and more.

We can't assume that the language of math and the language of thinking will just be acquired naturally in the classroom.

How can we support English learners in the math classroom? Join us and find out!

In my years of working in content classroom across grades K-12, I was often asked what could be done to address the needs of English learners in the math classroom. They just "didn't seem to get it".

After many, many classroom visits and review of curriculum, the language demands of the math classroom became clear.

On top of that, teachers had little to no training of how to recognize or address the language demands on top of the math demands.

That's why we are bringing it to you now!

This course (and the entire Language of Math Pathway) is designed for K-12 math content teachers, ESL teachers, coaches, and administrators.

The best practices and strategies apply across grade levels and examples from elementary, middle, and high school are included.

As with any professional learning, this course is best taken in co-teaching pairs where an expert in math partners with an expert in ESL to make the most of both worlds.

My guarantee to you is that this knowledge and these strategies, when implemented, will make a difference in your instruction. I know when you take action, you’ll get results.

These are the same principles I have followed day in and day out for years that have enabled me to continue to support successful classrooms across the country.

If, after 60 days of access to the course, you do not feel the content can impact your instruction you can request a 50% refund.
