Register Now: November 8 Webinar on English Learners in STEM Subjects

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has released a new report titled English Learners in STEM Subjects: Transforming Classrooms, Schools, and Lives.

According to The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine:

A shift is needed in how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects are taught to students in grades K-12 who are learning English, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Educators should recognize the assets that English learners (ELs) bring to the classroom and understand that student performance is affected significantly by access to adequate program models and instruction. Opening avenues to success in STEM for the nation’s ELs offers opportunities to students and their families, and confers benefits to society, the report says.

The full report can be downloaded here.

A companion webinar will be presented November 8, 2018.
