Abstract
An asset-based orientation to curriculum design reframes multilingual learners not as problems to be remedied but as repositories of linguistic, cultural, experiential, and epistemic resources that can mediate complex academic learning. This theoretical pivot is grounded in sociocultural theory and funds of knowledge scholarship, which posit that households and communities possess organized, historically situated forms of knowledge and practice that are educative.
