English Learners/Multilingual Learners will struggle to make linguistic progress & academic if they are afforded language instruction in isolation only.

The most effective instruction is deliberately INFUSED with language.

There. I said it.

You don’t need to translate everything! You can use visuals & translaguaging to scaffold understanding.

@theellteacher Awwww…. Thank you!!! ❤️

[Meri Petkovska @MMerip]

If you have a newcomer added to your MATH class, what type of scaffolds do you need to provide to your student? How much does the student know English with an ELD 1 or 2 on ACCESS or WIDA Screener? Prepping my MATH PD😜#MLLs #WIDA

[Meri Petkovska @MMerip]

@Krystynateaches Thank you so much!!! Trying to get the message across to all gen Ed teachers how our MLLs feel when the content is not scaffolded.

[Meri Petkovska @MMerip]

Math lesson without & with scaffolding👇🏼 Getting my PD ready for the math department! Putting the math teachers in MLL’s shoes! #MLL #scaffolding
