Creating Systemic Change for our multilingual learners

21st century skills – communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity – call on schools to put student oral and written communication at the forefront of student's learning experience.

New standards reflect a focus on the language practices that all students need – making an historical claim, constructing a mathematical explanation, or expressing a scientific hypothesis. It is critical that school systems provide support to English Learners and their teachers to develop these practices.

Our professional learning configurations support educators across all levels of the system as they work towards a coherent approach to effective policies, programs and practices for multilingual learners.
