How to Support Multilingual Learners in STEM Classrooms (Darlyne de Haan)
Per our next guest on the podcast, MLL/STEM specialist Darlyne de Haan, there are over 900K high school MLL students in the USA - a large number of these students living in poverty (2014).
While Algebra and other STEM classes can catapult students into lucrative STEM careers, still, only a very small percentage of MLL students take these courses.
I hope you will listen in to my conversation with de Haan, author of the book STEM For All, as we discuss:
-Why MLLS are dropped from the STEM Pipeline.
-How tiered WIDA data can help STEM educators learn what MLL students can and cannot do linguistically.
- What STEM educators can do to help integrate MLL students in their classrooms through the use of specific literacy scaffolds.
- How ALL students can and should have access to STEM learning.
