One instructor elaborated, “I started to do that, like actually trying to get them towork together more, because I want, because there’s so few, there’s so few women, and there’s sofew, like you, African Americans, and Latinos.”Communication was cited as critical in the job interview process and more broadly. Several of theeducators described the need for students to be able to clearly present ideas to a range ofaudiences and how practice could be beneficial.

advance linguistic equity by creating space for more multilingual andmultimodal activities in elementary school classrooms.IntroductionThe number of elementary school students designated as English learners has increased and willcontinue to increase in U.S. schools. In schools emergent bilingual students are often subjectedto low-level content and lower expectations than their monolingual English-speaking peers. Forexample, school leaders may believe that multilingual children need to learn basic Englishlanguage skills first before they can engage in science inquiry and engineering design. Incontrast, other approaches position multilingual and emergent bilingual students in light of theirassets [1]. Our project, thus, views multilingual learners

She writes that it means howmuch the student grows in one scholarly period that begins in the fall and finishes in the spring-measuring this individual growth. CRP highlights this growth and avoids demerits of thestandards test; CRP considers that standardized tests do not measure other meaningful learningthat students could have acquired during the academic year.

Being a new program, the challengelays in recruitment of students into the nuclear engineering classes. There are a couple ofpossible causes for this.
