2025 Baxter Symposium Session

Grab Your Suitcase! Transformative Strategies for Teaching Science to Multilingual Learners

Presenter: Anna (Ania) Kopacz & Nicole McRee, Kildeer Countryside District #96

Join us as we explore inclusive, practical strategies for effectively teaching science to multilingual learners.  Not only will you take a journey to another country and learn in a language unfamiliar to you but you will learn how science is the PERFECT content to help our multilinguals feel success in understanding grade level concepts. The presentation will provide real-world examples, teaching tools, and research-backed strategies, ensuring science is accessible and engaging for all learners, regardless of their language background. Designed for educators seeking to support diverse student populations, this session aims to foster an inclusive science classroom where every student can thrive.
