Multilingual learners can learn grade-level content if the instruction is intentionally scaffolded with language in mind. Highly successful content teachers have been using sheltered instruction as a framework for scaffolding learning for MLs for decades now. If you believe that MLs are capable of academic success, then this course will add proven strategies to back your commitment.
In this course you will:
use strategies to establish comprehensible input when using lectures, videos, and texts;
foster comprehensible output by structuring writing and speaking tasks;
select key sensory, graphic, and interactive scaffolds;
differentiate the content, product, or process;
format content-based assessments so they are not reading tests.
"Very helpful information to spread, especially to mainstream content teachers with little to no experience or support in scaffolding and differentiating for ELs. Relevant presentation of course information."
This course (and the entire Secondary Learner Pathway) is designed for content teachers, ESL/ELD/CLD teachers, coaches, and administrators. The best practices and strategies apply across English proficiency levels and content areas. As with any professional learning, this course is best taken in co-teaching pairs where a content expert partners with an English language development expert to make the most of both worlds.
