Evidence-Based Practices for Utah’s English Learners	How Seesaw Supports Utah’s English Learners
Scaffold content-area learning by using videos, visuals, & graphic organizers to help students understand content	Intuitive and open-ended, Seesaw’s multimodal learning tools remove barriers to learning and empower students of all ages to build and reflect on their knowledge
Plan pair and small group learning opportunities for students to talk about content with peers	Teachers can create student groups in Seesaw, perfect for small group instruction, pull out intervention or enrichment, and group projects. Quickly assign extra practice or modified activities to a preset group of students to provide an appropriate level of challenge or support. With flexible controls, teachers can create multiple groups, add and remove students as needed throughout the year.
Have students engage in content-focused writing activities to develop academic language and writing skills	Seesaw ELD provides multilingual students with scaffolded opportunities to practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking English in the context of ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
Provide opportunities for students to talk and work together on writing assignments	With Seesaw’s multimodal tools, multilingual learners have a safe space to learn, practice and build confidence while honoring their strengths and experiences.
