Together we will 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 & 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 translanguaging spaces in the curriculum and our classroom practices 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!
