This interview highlights how to support multilingual students at risk for learning disabilities. Dr. Day notes that K-12 multilingual students often struggle with academic language, especially speaking and writing, even after receiving English language services for years. To help, she incorporates technology-based interventions into her teacher preparation program, using tools like Pear Deck to enhance language skills through opportunities to respond. Dr. Day stresses the importance of providing teachers with the time and support to use these strategies effectively, combining insights from special education and bilingual education. Her work shows how technology can tailor instruction and improve academic and linguistic outcomes for these K-12 students.
