Just-right supports for multilingual learners

Medley does what you would do if you had unlimited time to support your multilingual learners – automatically add research-backed, customized scaffolds to your existing grade-level content.

Multilingual learners succeed best with scaffolds that:

• Are appropriate for their English proficiency level
• Fade as students reach proficiency
• Strategically leverage their home language

BUT providing scaffolds is skilled, time-consuming work…And so many multilingual learners don’t receive consistent and appropriate supports, especially in middle and high school content classes.

A scaffolding solution for multilingual learners that just works

High quality grade-level content for every middle and high schooler

Medley allows multilingual learners to access the same grade-level, high quality instructional materials as their native English speaking peers.  

Great teaching made so much easier

Differentiation is hard. Many teachers don't have the time, tools, and training to customize content for every student. With Medley, teachers choose supports for each student, but the tool handles the rest.

Fading support as English proficiency grows

Medley can align to WIDA, ELPA21, TELPAS, ELPAC or however your state or district measures English proficiency. Teachers can also manually enter the level of scaffolding they want for students.
