Session Submission Summary

Supporting K–12 English Language Learners in Science: Putting Research Into Teaching Practice

Sat, April 9, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Independence Salon A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The proposed symposium summarizes lessons learned from four systematic, large scale, research and professional learning projects supporting English learners in science. Each of these projects is situated in a different state the U.S., where large numbers of English learners are being educated, and each has focused on a different age range and/or target population. Each project has also received ongoing federal funding over multiple years and multiple project iterations. Further, each project is actively grappling with the linguistic implications of the three-dimensional learning framework central to the Next Generation Science Standards. Together, the four projects tell a compelling and inclusive story of the challenges and opportunities of teaching science to English learners in the first decades of the 21st century.
