New Course Series: Unlocking Language – A Teacher's Treasure Chest for ELLs

Every classroom has multilingual learners. Every educator deserves a toolbox full of strategies that work.

We're excited to introduce a two-part course series designed to help educators confidently support English Learners from day one through long-term academic success.

🔑 Part 1: Unlocking Language – A Teacher's Treasure Chest for ELLs
Build a strong foundation by learning practical strategies for differentiation, scaffolding, assessment, family engagement, and creating an inclusive classroom where every student can thrive. You'll leave with an action plan and ready-to-use strategies you can implement immediately.

🗝️ Part 2: Unlocking Language – The Sequel
Take your learning even further by focusing on academic language, content-area literacy, explicit vocabulary instruction, and using students' home languages as powerful assets for learning. This course helps educators move beyond helping students "get by" to helping them truly excel.

Whether you're new to teaching English Learners or looking to strengthen your current practices, this series provides practical, research-based strategies you can use across all grade levels and content areas.

✨ Two courses. Countless strategies. One goal: Helping every English Learner succeed.

💬 Great math discussions don't just happen—they're carefully planned.

The questions we ask, the student thinking we anticipate, and the way we guide classroom conversations all have a direct impact on student learning.

Our NEW 2-credit license renewal course, 5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions (Book Study), will help you move beyond simply getting the right answer and instead create meaningful mathematical conversations where every student's thinking matters.

Throughout this four-week course, you'll learn how to anticipate student responses, maintain cognitive demand, ask purposeful questions, and develop implementation-ready lesson plans you can use throughout the school year.

Whether you're an elementary or secondary math teacher, instructional coach, or interventionist, this course provides practical strategies to strengthen mathematical discourse and student reasoning.

🧮 New course now available!

What if your daily read-aloud could also build science knowledge, strengthen reading comprehension, AND improve student writing?

If you're already setting aside time each day for a read-aloud, this new course is the perfect way to make that time work even harder. Research shows that high-quality nonfiction builds the background knowledge students need for stronger reading comprehension while exposing them to rich vocabulary, text structures, and authentic writing models.

Our NEW 1-credit book study, 5 Kinds of Nonfiction, will help you:

-Choose engaging nonfiction your students will actually enjoy.
-Connect literacy and science through meaningful text sets.
-Teach students to think like readers and writers using powerful nonfiction mentor texts.

Create a nonfiction unit you can implement in your classroom this school year

Read-aloud time doesn't have to be "just" reading anymore. It can become one of the most impactful parts of your instructional day.

Who else is ready to give nonfiction the spotlight it deserves?
