On-Demand Virtual Training
Document-Based Questions, which require sophisticated historical thinking and literacy skills, are often inaccessible to multilingual learners. This session for grade 6-12 social studies teachers presents a methodology for making DBQs accessible to MLLs, through scaffolding tools and model DBQs created by a team of history teachers and EL specialists from Massachusetts through a Library of Congress grant. This training was originally held on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
