Description
This tool can be used to help plan units that leverage MLs’ cultural and linguistic backgrounds by incorporating opportunities for students’ home language use and/or integrating culture, families, and community members into your lessons.
Considerations
This template can be used as a collaborative tool to plan units in grade level or content teams that include the ELD teacher and other staff who will work with MLs during the unit.
How It Works
This tool walks educators through:
• Identifying content and language goals
• Leveraging student assets and prior knowledge
• Developing student-centered tasks and assessments
• Integrating appropriate scaffolds, resources, and strategies
• Addressing equity and social justice issues.
