Description

Welcoming a new multilingual learner doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. This 4-page New Multilingual Student Checklist for Teachers helps you go from unsure to fully prepared by clearly outlining everything you need to plan, prepare, and support a newcomer ELL / ML student from Day One.

This checklist walks teachers step by step through essential considerations, including preparing the student’s desk and materials, identifying which family forms may need translation, reviewing the student’s English Language Plan and learning needs, and coordinating with key support staff such as the ESL teacher, counselor, and office staff. It also guides teachers in planning classroom, social, and academic supports while ensuring families feel welcomed, informed, and included from the very beginning.

Designed specifically for multilingual learners and their families, this resource helps teachers stay organized, avoid missed steps, and confidently create a supportive, inclusive classroom environment—whether a student arrives at the start of the year or mid-year.
