About this title

Synopsis

From Laura Alvarez, one of the authors of Supporting Newcomer Students, a guide on how to continue to support multilingual students’ language development and rigorous learning in a remote environment.  In this QRG in the new set of Strategies for Distance Learning Guides, Alvarez provides questions to guide instructional planning and key teaching moves for English learners, within a framework of 4 principles for distance learning:

• Facilitate meaningful interactions
• Build relationships
• Use technology purposefully
• Hold an inquiry stance 

With extensive tips for how to maintain these goals in both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities, this guide will be a go-to resource for teachers of newcomers and English learners.

Each 8.5" x 11" multi-panel guide is laminated for extra durability and 3-hole-punched for binder storage.
