Description:
WestEd presents: What can teachers do to help English language learners in math class? In this webinar, Cathy Carroll, Senior Research Associate/Project Director in WestEd's Mathematics, Science, & Technology Program, and John Carr, Senior Research Associate in WestEd's Evaluation Research Program , will present an integrated approach to teaching mathematics in a mainstream classroom with English learners at different language levels as well as other students with special learning needs. They will discuss and give examples how to combine and embed proven strategies and tools for teaching diverse learners, and a widely accepted inquiry-based approach to teaching mathematics.

The webinar is geared to upper elementary, middle, and high school mathematics teachers who have had limited preparation for teaching mathematics to English learners, their leaders in schools and districts, and university (mathematics) teacher education faculty. The material will be based on the presenters’ bestselling book, Making Mathematics Accessible to English Learners: A Guidebook for Teachers.
