Building strong multilingual communities, one school at a time

As classrooms become more linguistically diverse, educators are eager to expand their pedagogical repertoires. We offer in-person and online professional development workshops that speak to educators’ questions about language teaching and literacy development in multilingual contexts. From 1-hour intensive sessions, to full-day programs, to multi-week courses, we tailor our workshops to your institutional needs. We work with English language specialists, content-area teachers, and university faculty to develop linguistically responsive and culturally sensitive instructional practices.

Language is at the heart of so much of what we do as educators. We help educators to identify the linguistic demands of classroom tasks and to create discipline specific and developmentally appropriate pedagogical strategies for multilingual classrooms. As experts in content-based, language-focused instruction, we offer coaching, both in person and online, for individual teachers and teams of educators.

Our beliefs about language and language learning are reflected in what we teach. We provide curriculum design services to community-based organizations, language schools, and educational entrepreneurs. From identifying language goals to developing a fully articulated learning sequence, we help leaders to create strong, research-based language programs.
