Multilingual Learners
Supporting Multilingual Learners
Giving All Students a Voice in the Learning Journey
MIND Education programs are built to support multilingual learners, emergent bilinguals, and English learners from the start. Our visual-first design removes language as a barrier, giving students access to rigorous math without relying on written instructions or translation. Language is the bridge to mathematical meaning, and we ensure all students can fully participate by supporting both receptive and expressive skills.
This approach ensures all students—regardless of language proficiency—can build conceptual understanding and grow their math confidence.
