This session is part of a two-part series focusing on ways educators can support ELs/MLs during math instruction. This session covers key components of supporting student communication as students master math concepts and explain their thinking. Participants will review a variety of strategies to scaffold their students’ speaking and writing. Consider joining the corresponding session: “Strengthening Math Instruction for ELs/MLs 1: Facilitating Student Comprehension”. (Each session is a stand alone workshop. It is not necessary to attend both.)
