SUMMARY:NABE Conference Presentation-Suporting General Education Educators Serving Multilingual Students Through Multifaceted Professional Development
DESCRIPTION:Supporting General Education Educators Serving Multilingual Students Through Multifaceted Professional Development \nDate & Time: February 20\, 2025 | 2:20 PM\nLocation: Hanover E\nPresenter(s): \n\nMarybelle Marrero-Colón (Center for Applied Linguistics)\nKia Johnson (Center for Applied Linguistics)\n\nDescription:\nResearch has shown that well-trained professionals improve the quality of education through continual refinement of best practices (Zepeda\, 2013)\, yet teachers report feeling unprepared to meet the needs of their multilingual learners.

This workshop presents alternatives such as guided lesson design\, lesson study\, educator-led PLCs\, peer mentoring\, gamification\, and hybrid co-planning. Participants will engage in group discussions\, jigsaw activities\, and planning activities.
