As multilingual student populations grow in elementary classrooms, STEAM educators face the dual challenge of supporting English development and content mastery. Traditional STEAM curricula often overlook the cultural and linguistic assets multilingual learners bring. Multilingual Learners in STEAM: Teaching Framework and Practical Tools for Elementary Grades offers a solution through the Equitable STEAM Education for Multilingual Learners (ESEM) framework—an equity-focused, interdisciplinary, and culturally and linguistically responsive approach. Grounded in research on translanguaging, visual literacy, and integrated STEAM instruction, the book presents actionable principles to create inclusive, asset-based STEAM learning environments. Each chapter highlights practical strategies for designing culturally relevant curriculum, promoting linguistic justice, integrating technology, building community partnerships, and fostering teacher collaboration. It empowers educators to engage multilingual learners and advocate for just, transformative STEAM education.
