No le Enseñes Sobre los ELs: Infusing Language Into Professional Development and Mathematics

Abstract

This paper shares our experiences providing professional development to secondary mathematics teachers in a school district looking for ways to meet the needs of their increasingly diverse student population. Our professional development focused on building teacher language awareness by addressing the language domains that Lindahl (2019) outlines as the teacher domain, user domain, and analyst domain. Further explanation of what each domain entails will be discussed and recommendations on how to engage teachers within these domains are shared.
