Bilingual Kids Bloom! Cultivating Learning In-between Languages and Cultures
April 24, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am
| Free
Explore, brainstorm and plan for supports to help bilingual learners flourish:
- The languages and cultures of all of our students are not always visible and audible in the learning environment–let’s explore ways to create a more lush multilingual and multicultural ecology in our schools so everyone’s learning is enriched!
- The knowledge and skills that are unique to multilingual learners are not reflected in monolingual standards–let’s consider how to create fertile ground in the curriculum to nurture their bilingual talents and enhance learning within any content area!
- Students’ languages and cultures are deeply connected to their social-emotional learning–let’s embrace practices that honor bilingual ways of knowing and communicating so our bilingual learners can thrive!
TARGET AUDIENCE: K-12 Educators
NOTE to participants:
One week prior: You will be invited to a self-guided module to explore the concepts, reflect on how they can influence your practice, and think through how you might apply these ideas to your own teaching context. The module will contain 3.5 hours of professional learning activities that you can complete asynchronously before the online session.
On April 24th: You can join a 1.5 hour online session where we will engage with the big ideas, explore concepts and examples together, and address any questions that have emerged.
