Speak Agent’s Content + Language strategies provide ready-made classroom resources to help math and science educators implement effective content and language integration. The strategies provide the learning sciences basis for all student work in Speak Agent.
Strategy Examples
Along the right sidebar, you will find several examples of strategies that are proven effective with all learners, not only with multilingual learners. After all, academic language is no one’s home language!
Each example includes the following resources:

- A downloadable Strategy Resource Pack that includes lesson planning resources and independent work activities that you can use with or without the Speak Agent program.
