Elena Andrei; Melissa Daley
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research, v25 n2 Article 2 2024
Multilingual learners (MLs), also referred to as English learners (ELs) in US K-12 public schools, and specifically newcomer MLs who have been in US schools for 2 years or less, are expected to learn the English language and reach grade level standards as their monolingual English-speaking peers. Mathematics education in the US has struggled over the years to achieve higher levels of math achievement for all students and for MLs. In this innovation in practice, we present how Ms. Shelley (a pseudonym), a math high school teacher incorporated her newcomer MLs diverse math practices in her teaching.
