Course Summary

Learn How to Support Multilingual Learners

This course is designed to help general education teachers better serve their multilingual learners while continuing equitable support for all students.

Given our experience as language teachers, we are constantly having conversations with teachers about their language learners. From what we have observed, when most of us were obtaining our teacher certifications we were not given adequate training to feel confident in serving our language-learning students in our classes. The purpose of this course is to help generate ideas and strategies that are proven to support every student, but especially the language learners. You will learn what students (generally) CAN do at different language levels. You will also be given time to process this information and make it your own.

This 15-hour online course is designed to be the one-stop resource that we wish we had during our first encounters with language learners. Our course, Strategies to Support Multilingual Learners, will begin by learning about what language learners can produce at different levels. From there you will learn about Guided Language Acquisition Development (G.L.A.D.) strategies that are proven best practices for language learners. You will then get time to create your own resources using the strategies and make them applicable to your classroom, curriculum, and students. From there, you will learn about ways to engage all multilingual stakeholders via Talking Points. Lastly, you will put all your knowledge to the test by analyzing different student scenarios.

Teachers at any grade level will be able to benefit from the ideas and strategies presented in this course. As an educator with years of experience in primary and secondary schools, within various states and internationally, I can confidently say you are in the right place!
