Learn practical instructional practices that help English language learners understand and engage with grade-level content, participate with confidence, and become increasingly independent learners.
Whether you’re an ELD teacher, classroom teacher, instructional coach, or interventionist, you’ll leave with practical strategies you can begin using immediately with your ELLs.
Your multilingual learners struggle with grade-level content.
You find yourself modifying everything.
Students depend on you for every activity.
You’re constantly wondering… “Am I supporting them enough?“
The problem isn’t that multilingual learners can’t learn rigorous content.
The problem is that grade-level instruction often assumes ML students already have the language and background knowledge needed to access it.
Without intentional instructional supports, students are met with instructional barriers that impact their access to the learning.
Learn practical ways to build background knowledge, reduce cognitive load, and make complex content accessible for multilingual learners through intentional scaffolds.
Learn practical ways to make the language of a lesson explicit so students build the words, language patterns, and structures they need to communicate their learning.
Create structured opportunities for talk so students can process ideas, build confidence, and demonstrate their learning.
This is practical, classroom-based professional development. You’ll see real examples, demonstrations, and strategies you can begin using with multilingual learners right away.
Designed for ELD/ESL teachers, classroom teachers, interventionists, instructional coaches, and others supporting multilingual learners.
I’m an ELD teacher with 20+ years of experience teaching multilingual learners in grades K–6. I’ve spent my career figuring out how to make rigorous instruction accessible while helping students build the language they need to participate successfully.
I’m excited to share with you what’s working so you can put these strategies to work in your classroom, too.

Feedback from teachers who’ve taken the workshop. 
“I really enjoyed this engaging and helpful workshop! It included so many strategies, but it was not too overwhelming because Kristen explained each one, and how the strategies even work together.”
— Workshop Participant
“I really appreciated the actual classroom examples and videos provided in this workshop. The examples helped give me ideas about how to implement strategies in my own classroom. I feel more prepared going into this school year about how I will run my small groups and how I will support when I push-in to classrooms.”
