This workshop is designed for educators who teach mathematics or support English language development in mathematics.  This workshop will focus on recognizing and designing mathematics instruction that simultaneously strengthens both mathematical reasoning and language development for multilingual learners. During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the benefits of giving students mathematics tasks to solve together and time to exchange ideas about their reasoning as well as how to find and insert reasoning activities into mathematics units. Participants will see and have opportunities to plan ways to support multilingual learners in becoming increasingly effective as they use language to express their own ideas and co-construct ideas with others.

This course is open to K-12 Washington public school educators only.   Private schools who have opted into Federal Title III services may also take this course.  Contact your school administrator for details.
