This eWorkshop is designed to support K-12 classroom educators working with multilingual learners who have recently arrived in the United States and are new to U.S. schools.  Participants will engage through reading, viewing, and reflecting on how to engage with newcomer multilingual learners and their families, building collegial relationships to support integration of multilingual learners into the school community, and instructional strategies to support the dual requirements of language development and content learning.
