8:45am CDT

Scaffolding up language for Multilingual Learners in High School Content Classrooms

Wednesday July 29, 2026 8:45am - 10:15am CDT

Discovery Building: Room 1170

This session will support secondary content teachers in providing high quality supports for their multilingual learners levels 1-4. While this workshop will address multiple domains of language (reading, writing, listening, speaking) a greater emphasis will be on scaffolds that support peer-to-peer interactions in the content areas of Math, Science, Social Studies and English. Teachers will have the opportunity to learn about and interact with language and content scaffolds that help leverage oral language practices and are differentiated for newcomers, intermediate and advanced language learners.

In this session, you will:

Create and apply language and content scaffolds for multiple levels of language learners.

Increase the amount and quality of peer-to-peer interactions in high school content classrooms.

Understand how to structure activities that allow MLs to use rich language during discussions with peers.
