Your class waits for the day's lesson to begin. The slide deck loads and 1st period is off to the races. Today we're learning about area and perimeter of rectangles and your Emergent Bilingual students are ready to learn because you have full linguistic supports embedded directly into your lessons.
Every vocabulary word, image, and paragraph is carefully translated and your content has English Language Proficiency Standards integrated with your lesson's objectives.
But how do we ensure your EB learners are getting exactly what they need in the lessons? How can you ensure each domain and objective are addressed in each classroom? How are these integrations relevant?

During the Emergent Bilingual Embedded Supports development process, we carefully analyze the lesson's objective and state standards. Each subject and grade are unique in delivery of lesson content - so are our linguistic supports. Once your objectives are aligned to state linguistic standards, we can decide what type of support is most helpful to your students.
Would it help if your teachers see a short prompt elegantly combining the lesson and language objectives? How about a custom visual cue and description to remind your EB learners of useful, effective linguistic learning strategies? Could your educators benefit from helpful connections across languages?
Maybe your classes need simple, relevant translations of new vocabulary - with supports that require careful, informed, and collaborative approaches during development!
Each type of linguistic support is designed, placement chosen, and samples delivered - all with collaboration from stakeholders. We dig into the finer details of style all while keeping a birds-eye view of broader units and modules.

Scaffolding is an indispensable tool for helping learners achieve - even more so for Emergent Bilingual students. With an eye for both lesson and language objectives, we can craft engaging, original short activities which seamlessly embed into the beginning and end of your lessons.
These activities are specifically made to help on-ramp EB students to the day's content and quickly check for understanding at the end of the lesson - a perfect bookend to your student's daily learning!
Whatever the need, EDU Specialist will work together to craft the ideal linguistic supports for your Emergent Bilingual learners!
