What Makes MPM Essentials Different

We're not just instructional designers. We're educators who specialize in multilingual learners.

With 30 years of experience as an ESL teacher, instructional coach, and district administrator, Michael Molnar understands both the content AND how to deliver it effectively.

Our approach is built on the Responsive Instruction Framework—a clear, practical structure that helps teachers make strategic decisions at every stage of learning:

· ACCESS: On-Ramps to Learning Making grade-level content comprehensible and accessible without watering it down

· PROCESS: Connecting to Make SenseSupporting students to think deeply and become independent learners through strategic scaffolding

· SHOWCASE: Making Learning VisibleGathering evidence of understanding and providing meaningful feedback for growth

This framework embodies three non-negotiables:

• Language IS learning, not just a vehicle for it
• Scaffolding is temporary—we gradually release responsibility
• Access to grade-level thinking is a right, not a privilege

We help teachers amplify learning for multilingual learners, not simplify it. Same rigorous destination, multiple supportive routes.
