SUMMARY:NABE 2026 Conference Presentation: From Support to Soar: Decreasing Scaffolds to Accelerate Academic Language
DESCRIPTION:Event: NABE Conference 2026\nLocation: Room E259\nDate & Time: February 11\, 2026 | 1:20 PM – 2:40 PM\nSession Format: Presentation\nPresenter(s): \nMaria Cieslak (Center for Applied Linguistics) \nDescription:\nWhat if the key to language acceleration isn’t adding more support\, but strategically taking it away? Join us for an energizing session that flips the script on scaffolding. Discover how purposeful de-scaffolding empowers multilingual learners to take ownership of academic language and thrive in rigorous content. Through real classroom examples\, interactive strategies\, and practical tools\, you’ll explore how to gradually release responsibility\, boost student agency\, and elevate academic discourse. Let’s shift from support-heavy to student-driven – and watch language soar!

SUMMARY:NABE 2026 Conference Presentation: Can’t Co-teach? Then Co-plan! Supporting Content Teachers with Multilingual Students
DESCRIPTION:Event: NABE Conference 2026\nLocation: Room E270\nDate & Time: February 12\, 2026 | 1:20 PM – 2:10 PM\nSession Format: Presentation\nPresenter(s): \n     Marybelle Marrero-Colón (Applied Linguistics) \n     Kia Johnson (Center for Applied Linguistics) \nDescription:\nCo-planning is a process that supports consistent implementation of standards-based instruction that supports language development\, literacy\, and content curricula while allowing Tier 1 teachers\, ML and instructional specialists to coordinate instruction and assessment (Honigsfeld & Dove\, 2022). Co-planning not only supports those educators who co-teach\, but those who share students\, but are unable to set up a co-teaching model due to scheduling and personnel shortages\, or in order to take advantage of the knowledge and expertise of others (Ford\, 2025). This presentation will look at the importance of co-planning for second language learners when co-teaching is not an option.

SUMMARY:NABE 2026 Conference Presentation: Seeing the Signs: Attuned Practices for Multilingual Newcomers Facing Transition Shock
DESCRIPTION:Event: NABE Conference 2026\nLocation: Room E255\nDate & Time: February 12\, 2026 | 8:30 AM – 9:50 AM\nSession Format: Presentation\nPresenter(s): \n     Maria Cieslak (Center for Applied Linguistics) \nDescription:\nAre your multilingual newcomers showing signs of withdrawal\, defiance\, or disengagement? These may be signs of transition shock – a response to the emotional and neurological stress of adjusting to a new environment. In this interactive session\, you will explore practical\, trauma-responsive strategies to create safe\, healing-centered classrooms where students feel seen\, supported\, and empowered. Using scenario cards\, you’ll practice identifying fight\, flight\, and freeze behaviors and apply a simple attunement formula to respond with care and intention. Walk away with tools you can use immediately to build trust\, foster resilience\, and help multilingual newcomers thrive –emotionally and academically.

By focusing on the implementation of the SIOP Model\, a recognized and effective\, research-based instructional model which benefits linguistic and academic achievement for multilingual learners\, this school built a three-year professional development plan to improve teacher capacity. When supported through a long-term\, job-embedded approach featuring guided lesson design and lesson study\, results are noted in improved teacher evaluations and boosts in student achievement and language proficiency levels. The school’s PD plan and tools are shared and discussed.
