Yes, I Do School Workshops (and I’d Love to Visit Yours!)
Supporting your Multilingual Learners
If you’re an educator—or support teachers in any way—you know how critical it is to make sure Multilingual Learners (MLs) are not just included in classroom learning, but truly centered in it.
That’s exactly what my workshops are all about.
Drawing from my book, Centering Multilingual Learners in the Secondary Classroom, I offer hands-on, research-based workshops that help educators build classrooms where MLs thrive alongside their English-dominant peers.
Whether you’re a content-area teacher, instructional coach, or administrator, these workshops provide actionable, classroom-ready tools that help shift mindsets and practices.
We’ll explore my Five Cs Framework:
Critically Conscious Classrooms
Community
Context for Content
Collaboration
Choice in Assessment
Each session is tailored to meet the needs of your school or district. And we don’t just talk theory—participants walk away with strategies they can implement immediately, from designing assessments to creating classroom environments that emphasize belonging.
Here’s what educators are saying:
“This is the first time I’ve been in a PD that made me feel hopeful and empowered instead of overwhelmed.”
“I finally understand how to support MLs in my subject area. The practical strategies were exactly what I needed.”
“Every teacher should take this workshop. It helped me rethink how I plan, assess, and engage students—without lowering the bar.”
“It was very engaging; an awesome way to setup an example of how teaching should be.”
“I really enjoyed how engaging it was and how it challenged my way of thinking.”
If your school is looking to strengthen its support for MLs while elevating the learning experience for all students, I’d love to connect.
