STEAM for All: Empowering Multilingual Learners Through Technology

# data[].attributes.body
Research shows that using visual aids helps ELL students tremendously! Some effective strategies include: word walls with pictures, anchor charts, graphic organizers, and real objects (realia). I've found that my students retain vocabulary much better when we incorporate these visual elements.

This three-step process has been a game-changer in my classroom! Preview content in students' native language, View/teach in English, then Review in both languages. It helps build connections between languages and ensures deeper understanding.

Duolingo has been an excellent supplementary tool in my classroom. I use it for morning work and homework assignments. Students love the gamification aspect, and I appreciate the progress tracking features!

Hosting monthly cultural celebration days has been a wonderful way to validate students' heritage and create an inclusive classroom environment. Parents are invited to share traditional stories, food, or customs. It builds community and makes our ELL families feel valued!

Remember to provide multiple ways for ELLs to demonstrate understanding: oral presentations, picture-based assessments, native language responses, or simplified English versions. I use rubrics that consider language development stages.

# data[].attributes.body
These descriptors are essential for understanding what students can do at each language proficiency level. They help in setting appropriate expectations and creating targeted learning goals. I reference these constantly when planning lessons!

A tool to help you meet students where they are in their language development

The Can Do Descriptors highlight what language learners can do at various stages of language development as they engage in the following contexts:

Bilingual and English-immersion early care and education programs

Bilingual, Spanish-immersion and English-immersion K-12 language programs

Bilingual, Spanish-immersion and English-immersion K-12 content-area classrooms

Similar to the WIDA English Language Development Standards Statements, the Can Do Descriptors describe what learners can do with language across different content areas. Although the Can Do Descriptors relate to the ELD Standards Statements, they don't replace them but are used to supplement the standards statements during instruction.

Educators and early childhood practitioners can use the Can Do Descriptors to

Better understand what students at different levels of language proficiency can do with language

Expand their understanding of what the process of language development can look like

Collaborate around scaffolding that students need to engage in content-area learning and develop language at the same time

Differentiate instruction and classroom assessment for language

Interpret ACCESS for ELLs test scores

The Can Do Descriptors have not yet been updated to reflect the 2020 Edition; however, they remain available as a valuable tool for communicating with stakeholders about what students can do at each language proficiency level. WIDA is monitoring educator use to help inform the timing for updating the materials.

Generate lessons with AI

Plan and deliver interactive lessons on any topic - with help from AI

I am teacher of 15 years who, until recently, has delved no more deeply into tech in the classroom, and here I am encouraging colleagues to come on in and see Curipod in action and leading CPD sessions. To top it off, I'm spending my evenings playing on my iPad to see how many new lessons I can create, and what new features have been added that week. The time saved, and the improvement in my lesson materials, is tangible.
