Limited Capacity seats available

Based on the book The Problem With Math is English, our presentation will focus on the language and comprehension challenges that many learners face and that impede their success. Students who struggle with vocabulary, meaning, syntax, and/or context due to language, literacy, or other learning barriers are at a disadvantage. The session will focus on ways to reduce the language load while maintaining mathematical rigor.

ML Support: Individualized Language Acquisition Plan (ILAP) Overview

LIMITED

Friday July 31, 2026 1:00pm - 1:50pm EDT

3303

Limited Capacity seats available

The Individualized Language Acquisition Plan (ILAP) is a tool used to support multilingual learners by outlining their specific language needs and progress. Within the ILAP, educators can find important information such as instructional accommodations, assessment accommodations, test results, and “Can-Do” descriptors that highlight what students are able to achieve in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
During this presentation, we will explore where to locate each of these components and how they are used to guide instruction. We will also review how to make updates to the plan as students grow, and clarify what each accommodation means so teachers can apply them effectively in the classroom. The goal is to ensure all students receive appropriate support to succeed academically while developing their language skills.
