Using Simon Sinek′s Golden Circle theory to understand and elevate that sense of purpose, the book is organized into three the why, the how, and the what of teaching multilingual learners. You will learn
The benefits and goals of a multilingual education
How to design learning experiences for multilingual learners and how to respond when students are not learning
Culturally inclusive pedagogy and how it positively supports the identities of your students
How to foster oral language skills, build vocabulary, and increase students’ word knowledge
How to engage families and caregivers and create a sense of belonging in your classroom
And so much more!
