Supporting Multilingual Learners in the General Education Classroom

Support multilingual learners with practical classroom strategies that build both language growth and access to rigor.

This workshop is designed to build the competence and confidence of general education teachers in supporting Multilingual Learners (MLs). Emphasis is placed on setting high academic standards while simultaneously providing strategies that integrate language development with content mastery. Teachers explore instructional methods that ensure classroom instruction is both meaningful and comprehensible for MLs. The session is interactive and equips participants with a “strategies toolkit” they can immediately apply in their classrooms.

Core Needs Addressed

  • Lack of teacher preparation for meeting the needs of MLs within general education settings.

  • Difficulty balancing rigor and accessibility in lessons for students at different proficiency levels.

  • Limited awareness of instructional approaches that support both academic growth and language acquisition.

  • Inconsistent use of assessment data to guide differentiation for MLs.

Key Learnings

  1. Integrating Language Development into Core Instruction
    Teachers will learn to design lessons that embed language supports directly into content instruction, ensuring MLs engage meaningfully in grade-level learning.

  2. Applying Multiple Instructional Approaches
    Educators will explore a variety of methods—such as scaffolding, differentiation, and structured collaboration—to meet the diverse needs of MLs in the general education classroom.

  3. Using a Practical Strategies Toolkit
    Participants will leave with a toolkit of strategies they can implement immediately to make instruction comprehensible and equitable for MLs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your workshops different from traditional professional development or other providers?

Our approach goes beyond one-size-fits-all professional development. We hold ourselves to rigorous standards of quality and delivery in every client interaction, ensuring that each experience is meaningful, relevant, and impactful. We don’t just deliver workshops—we build long-term partnerships with schools and districts, working alongside educators to improve instructional practices and student outcomes over time.

We actively listen to educators’ unique contexts and experiences, using that insight to collaboratively design tailored solutions rather than pre-packaged sessions. Our team asks thoughtful questions, challenges assumptions, and continuously learns so we can help redefine what’s possible in teaching and learning.

Above all, we communicate authentically, foster positive and productive relationships, and bring a deep passion and commitment to education. The result is professional learning that feels purposeful, personalized, and truly transformative.

Who are your workshops designed for?

Our workshops are designed for educators and school leaders, including teachers, instructional coaches, school administrators, and district teams. Each session is tailored to the specific audience to ensure content is relevant, practical, and immediately applicable.

What does a typical workshop look like?

Our workshops are interactive, engaging, and grounded in real classroom practice. Each experience is intentionally designed using the principles of andragogy, sound instructional design, and the core constructs of effective professional development to ensure relevance, coherence, and impact. Participants engage in discussion, reflection, planning, and application activities — not just passive listening. Educators leave with concrete strategies and next steps they can implement right away.

How long are your workshops?

We offer flexible formats, including half-day, full-day, and multi-session series. We can also design ongoing professional learning experiences to support sustained implementation over time.

What delivery methods are available for your workshops?

We offer flexible delivery options to meet the needs of schools and districts, including in-person sessions, live virtual workshops, and asynchronous learning through our applied learning platform. Regardless of format, all experiences are designed to be interactive, engaging, and collaborative, with structures that promote meaningful participation and application of learning.

What kind of follow-up support is available?

We believe professional learning is most effective when it’s sustained. In addition to workshops, we offer instructional coaching, implementation planning, and follow-up sessions to help teams translate learning into practice and drive meaningful results.

Who facilitates the workshops?

Inspired Instruction’s workshops are facilitated by a nationwide team of expert Instructional Strategists.  Our facilitators bring diverse experience as classroom educators, instructional coaches, principals, directors, and superintendents, spanning all content areas. We thoughtfully match your specific needs with a facilitator whose expertise aligns to ensure the learning experience is relevant, practical, and impactful for your staff.

How much does it cost to bring a workshop to my school or district?

We offer a range of pricing options designed to meet the needs of different schools and districts. Our Client Directors work closely with you to understand your goals, scope, and budget, and will partner with you to design a high-quality professional learning experience that fits within your financial framework.
