Language and Literacy: Selecting High Quality & Authentic Texts

 We will explore an Inclusive Text Framework in support of language and literacy development for our Multilingual Learners that is applicable across content areas and grade levels. Teachers will receive a list of considerations when analyzing texts for relevance to their MLs and authenticity, that are research-based. Additional resources will be shared such as prompts to guide curricular analysis aligned to the Inclusive Text Framework to probe if students’ identities, experiences, perspectives and languages are at the center as well as explore a Culturally Responsive Curriculum Scorecard to critically analyze classroom libraries.  Teachers will deepen their understanding of high quality texts that disrupt the status quo!

Target Audience: All Teachers (K-12), Teacher Educators, Preservice Teachers, Teacher Leaders and/or Coaches, Administrators
