Multilingual Learners: Multilingual Learners 7: Multilingual Learners and Standards-Based Instruction (micro-credential) (15 Clock Hours): In this micro-credential, the educator applies knowledge of their state and national standards in lesson plans and instructional practice with multilingual learners. Standards-based instruction ensures that ALL students have access to rigorous and quality content based on grade-level expectations. However, a limited understanding of the English language can pose barriers for multilingual learners to access this content. It is the responsibility of educators to ensure that these learners receive the tools and strategies needed to access grade-level content. Incorporating standards-based instruction for multilingual learners ensures they receive a well-rounded education that addresses both language development and academic growth.
