For educators of culturally and linguistically diverse young children.

Ideal for Classes, Workshops, Preservice, Inservice & for all adults working with children 3 to 8.

Classrooms with five or more languages spoken. Unusual? Not anymore. The diversity in our schools today puts teachers, who may have little or no special training, under even more pressure. What do they need to do differently? How can they learn?

Now, STARTING POINTS can help you demonstrate strategies that support successful teaching and learning for our diverse young children. Long awaited, this unique resource shows how pre-K to third grade teachers welcome children and enable them to grasp new language and concepts.

STARTING POINTS focuses on small changes, steps viewers find not only make sense, but seem possible to incorporate into their teaching. Powerful scenes show how to help second language learners access what we have to teach and become part of the classroom community.

Your viewers will watch teachers sharing their hard-won knowledge and best practice strategies for working with English language learners. Fearful and uncertain at first, these teachers have discovered how strengthening skills they already have helped them reach more students and grow as professionals.
