How can we increase multilingual learners’ participation in mathematical reasoning and discourse while supporting content mastery and language growth?
How do we build staff capacity to align WIDA language expectations with NJSLS mathematics standards in daily instruction?
What leadership supports will sustain equitable access to rigorous mathematics instruction for multilingual learners across classrooms?
[This workshop] gives me ideas on ways to differentiate and support my students who struggle in reading within the mathematics academia. [The content specialist] gave tips on using whiteboard.fi for short diagnostic assessments--which I can use with word problems for both reading/responding. She gave other assessment/activity examples like using puzzles and four squares--which--I again can apply to the reading/responding portion of mathematics and students with dysgraphia, as well. In addition, these ideas can also be applied to activities in reading/writing, too.

As a result of this work
As a result of this work, administrators and educators will align WIDA language expectations with NJSLS mathematics standards to support multilingual learners’ mathematical reasoning, discourse, content mastery, and language growth. Participants will leave with scaffolding strategies, planning templates, and leadership approaches for sustaining these practices within a supportive school culture.
Workshop Description
This workshop is designed to help administrators and educators integrate the WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) for Mathematics. Participants explore how to align math practices with language expectations so that multilingual learners (MLs) can fully engage in mathematical reasoning and discourse. Through case studies, scaffolding strategies, and planning templates, the session emphasizes both content mastery and language growth. Administrators also examine their leadership role in creating a supportive school culture that sustains these practices.

Educators will confidently align NJSLS mathematics standards with WIDA language expectations to design lessons that integrate content and language objectives, targeted scaffolds, and structured mathematical discourse. Administrators will guide implementation through professional learning, curricular decisions, and observation and feedback cycles while strengthening multilingual communication and student leadership opportunities. This work supports district priorities by expanding equitable access to rigorous mathematics, strengthening instructional quality, and building an inclusive school culture for multilingual learners.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
