In this session, we will center on tools for multilingual learners, while also focusing on the components of professional development that support CS programs and allow participation of students whose first language is Spanish. We will also discuss important aspects of community involvement and professional development, providing tools and best practices to support CS programs. We will share about the effect of Cognitive Load Theory on multilingual learners, sharing tools that can alleviate that load. Lastly, we will share how technology can help engage multilingual households and how we can support them in their learners’ CS journey.
