The CCSS have raised the expectations for what it means to be numerate. Students are now expected to critique the reasoning of others and communicate their own ideas with clarity. These expectations have enormous ramifications for teachers of ELLs.
 In this research based workshop we will explore the ways in which mathematical modeling can be used as a tool to support and refine communication. Specific tools and techniques will be shared toward this end. This rigorous, hands-on session will:

• • Explore how to ensure that ALL students, particularly ELL students, can make
  
• • sense and participate during mathematics lessons
• • Consider mathematical models and visuals that are useful in giving all students
• • access to big ideas in mathematics
• • Examine instructional tools designed to develop the capacity of students to
  
• • communicate their ideas both verbally and in writing
• • Provide specific tools to assist all students to both talk and listen to their
  
• • classmates with an ear toward understanding and building on
    
  • each other’s ideas
• • Assist students in learning to represent their ideas using mathematical
  
• • models, symbols and words
