Unit 3: Activity 2: "How To" Strategies for English Learners
Unit 3, Activity 2 is titled, “'How To' Strategies for
English Learners” and will take approximately 30
minutes to complete.
The purpose of this activity is for participants to
increase awareness of instructional strategies that
support English learners.
English learners (ELs) may have language barriers that could cause challenges in mastering the content required to form strong mathematical foundations. Use the following "How To" strategies to support your EL students as you deepen your understanding of how mastery of mathematics concepts and progressions impact their learning.
Select a category to see strategies for supporting English Learners:
- Accessing Background Knowledge
- Scaffolding Instruction
- Differentiating Instruction
- Assessment Strategies
Watch the following video and note the strategies used to support EL students.
