| Summary |
Using strengths-based approaches to support development in mathematics It's time to re-imagine what's possible and celebrate the brilliance multilingual learners bring to today's classrooms. Innovative teaching strategies can position these learners as leaders in mathematics. Yet, as the number of multilingual learners in North American schools grows, many teachers have not had opportunities to gain the competencies required to teach these learners effectively, especially in disciplines such as mathematics. Multilingual learners-historically called English Language Learners-are expected to in |
