Presented by Melissa Henning

Session Description:

This energizing session is your treasure map to game-changing tools that celebrate linguistic diversity while accelerating learning for all! Tools will feature games, differentiation, translation, and more. Get ready to transform “language barrier” into “language bridge” – porque when we embrace multilingual magic, ¡todos ganamos! (everyone wins!).

Objectives:

• • Learn about 3-5 web resources that support multilingual learners in understanding and/or accessing grade-level content.
  • Understand how to select appropriate tools based on students’ language proficiency levels and learning needs.
  • Discover strategies for incorporating home languages as resources in instruction rather than barriers to overcome.
