Abstract

Multilingual children learning English often receive inequitable curriculum, instruction, and assessment opportunities in pre K–5 schools where English is the dominant language of instruction (García and Kleifgen 2018). There is an even more prevalent gap when also considering access to high quality STEM learning opportunities (NASEM 2018). Why is STEM enrichment for multilingual children critical, even during a pandemic? STEM in early/elementary education can offer deep, productive content to engage all children and build on their lived experiences (Lee 2005).
