Co-designing Multilingual Multimodal Science Inventory Activities with NC Educators

• Date & Time: February 20, 2025 | 2:20–3:10 PM
• Presenter(s):
  • Keira Ballantyne (CAL)
  • Ivanna Mann Thrower Anderson (North Carolina Department of Public Instruction)
• Description:
  “The Multilingual Multimodal Science Inventory (M2-Si) is an innovative formative tool for classroom educators to understand what their students know and can do in science, not just what they know and can do in science in English. In this presentation, we will describe the collaborative process of creating and pilot testing M2-Si activities with a cohort of G3-5 educators in dual and monolingual settings in North Carolina. We will share a revised rubric for infusing opportunities for multilingual and multimodal communication into classroom activities in science.”
