This week, Dan and Sam are joined by elementary school teacher, Myra Lam, to talk about teaching science with attention to language needs. She discusses the strategies she uses in her classroom that have supported her multilingual students.

Resources:

• Why you should stop pre-teaching science vocabulary and focus on students developing conceptual meaning first (STEM Teaching Tool #66)
• Science in the City by Bryan Brown
• Thinking and Feedback Protocol
• Knowles Teaching Fellowship
• Pedagogy of Hope by Paulo Freire

Follow along and send us the questions YOU have about science education!
