This practical workshop, designed for homeroom teachers, provides a framework for seamlessly integrating language development into math, science, and inquiry-based learning. Discover how simple, high-leverage strategies—like strategic sentence frames, vocabulary mobilization, and translanguaging—can deepen content understanding for all students. Leave with a ready-to-use toolkit to transform your classroom into a language-rich environment where every lesson empowers students to read, write, speak, and listen like mathematicians, scientists, and historians.
