“It’s a new day! We’ve learned language acquisition in school isn’t linear and rote but rather dynamic, meaningful, and collaborative. Multilingual learners thrive through the production of oral and written language.”
—Dr. Nancy Akhavan
Are you ready to teach multilingual learners with instruction that reflects current English Language Development (ELD) standards?
