Research Project on Science Assessment for Multilingual Learners
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) and the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) are seeking educators to serve as paid consultants contributing to the development of a new assessment tool for multilingual learners (MLs) in science. The Multilingual Multimodal Science Inventory (M2-Si) is a grant-funded project aiming to better support MLs in grades 3-5.
Qualified educators, instructional coaches, and administrators who have taught science to MLs within the past five years are encouraged to apply. Selected participants will receive a stipend, travel reimbursement, and registration for the North Carolina Science Teaching Association (NCSTA) 2024 Conference.
To participate, educators must attend the NCSTA conference, a professional development workshop, and contribute to evaluating student work samples. Applications are due September 1, 2024.
