Language development [should be] understood as a product of meaningful engagement in instruction, not a prerequisite.

What does equity really mean for MLs?

MLs "cannot benefit from an unsupported curriculum, and if 'language support' means a remedial curriculum or simplified, inauthentic language, we've set up students for long-term failure..." ascd.org/el/articles/... #ELSky
What Does Equity Really Mean for Multilingual Learners?
Scaffolding up the curriculum, rather than watering it down, is key for English learners.
