Reviews

Educators teaching STEAM education with equity and justice for multilingual learners will want to read this book. The authors offer a novel framework, research-based pedagogical support, classroom applications, and lesson examples in elementary education. -- OKHEE LEE * Professor, New York University * In the context of broad political attacks and confusion about diverse communities, Multilingual Learners in STEAM: Teaching Framework and Practical Tools for Elementary Grades could not have arrived in a timelier manner. The Equitable STEAM Education for Multilingual Learners (ESEM) framework beautifully integrates key theoretical constructs in multicultural and multilingual education and provides a resource with rich examples and templates. Classroom teachers and researchers can utilize this theoretically and practically driven tool to not only reach multilingual students but also draw upon their amazing epistemological and linguistic resources to deepen everyone’s understanding of science. -- MINJUNG RYU * Associate Professor, University of Illinois Chicago * Multilingual Learners in STEAM addresses the need with clarity, insight, and practical strategies tailored for the STEAM disciplines. It is a must-read for teachers, administrators, and curriculum developers who are committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment where all students, regardless of their language proficiency, can thrive in STEAM subjects. The authors deftly combine educational theory with actionable advice, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and seasoned educators. -- CHRISTY SMITH * STEAM Teacher at Graves Elementary School *
