What does “stuck” actually look like in a classroom, and whose job is it to fix it?
In this episode of Schoolutions, Tan Huynh and I discuss our newest book, Integrated Literacy for Experienced Multilinguals. I share a powerful classroom story about a ninth grader who could explain physics perfectly in social language but needed explicit support to reach academic language. Tan shares what it felt like to arrive in the U.S. as a five-year-old Vietnamese refugee and later be told his “creative” science writing wasn’t science writing at all.
