Abstract This paper provides an update on progress within our National Science Foundation project creating an engineering professional development model for teachers of multilingual students. The multi-year, design-based iteration research study aims to produce a model for teachers and schools in similar multilingual elementary schools and communities. Currently in year one, we provide an update of our activities thus far and the theoretical background of our project. We hope this model will advance linguistic equity by creating space for more multilingual and multimodal activities in elementary school classrooms.
