STEM-focused ECE Webinar: Supporting Multilingual Young Learners

How do young children make sense of the world when they use more than one language? And how can we, as educators, make sure our STEM experiences honor and build upon that incredible linguistic richness? In this upcoming online workshop, hosted by the EC STEM Lab, participants will explore how to create STEM learning environments that celebrate multilingualism. The discussion will include practical strategies that help children investigate, communicate, and make meaning across languages through science, technology, engineering, and math. 

Information will be presented by Liria Caesar, a bilingual preschool teacher from New Jersey with 20 years of classroom experience. Liria will bring deep expertise in supporting multilingual learners through play, inquiry, and everyday classroom moments. 

In this webinar, participants will explore…

  • STEM as a language of curiosity: How play, observation, and problem-solving can bridge linguistic differences
  • Everyday talk that grows big ideas: Supporting vocabulary and conceptual understanding
  • Inclusive provocations: Using materials, visuals, and experiences to connect STEM ideas to home languages and cultures
  • Family partnerships: Simple ways to invite families to share words, stories, and experiences that enrich classroom investigations

Participants can register for this free, online workshop via Zoom.
