STEAMming from Literacy: Empowering Multilingual Learners to Think, Read, and Lead in K–12 STEAM Classrooms

This interactive session explores how literacy fuels STEM learning in K–12 classrooms—especially for multilingual learners. Participants will engage in hands-on, language-rich STEM experiences that connect reading, writing, and oral language to science and engineering practices. Through modeled lessons and collaborative tasks, attendees will practice strategies such as inquiry-based read-alouds, science journals, and multilingual word walls that strengthen both content knowledge and academic discourse.
