The Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm®, or MALP®, is a culturally responsive-sustaining instructional approach to help educators address the needs of students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE) and other struggling culturally and linguistically diverse learners. This transcultural approach is intended to transition these learners from their preferred and customary ways of learning to Western-style formal education by integrating key elements of formal education while acknowledging and balancing their needs, preferences, and priorities. With MALP®, instructors have a concrete, practical set of guidelines to follow in designing and delivering culturally responsive-sustaining instruction to SLIFE and other struggling learners.
