Multilingual learners sometimes face challenges and gaps in learning during the early years. This interactive workshop will provide you with ten research-based updates that you can use to improve your preschool curriculum, environment, and teaching practices for multilingual learners. We will discuss adaptations you can use to support language and literacy as well as math, science, social/emotional learning, music, and art. There will be time for you to share ideas that have worked for you and you will be able to get answers to specific questions about your own class. A valuable resource collection will be provided to support your ongoing work.
Teachers, therapists, social workers, and other early childhood professionals working with young children will benefit from this webinar.
