Biliteracy FTW

To tackle your most pressing challenges around biliteracy instruction.


Biliteracy operates from the premise that if we are to invest in the full language development of our MLLs, then balancing literacy across two languages is the best way to go.

Drawing upon the fundamental principles of paired literacy instruction, we will tackle the components of what makes biliteracy effective, what programmatic adjustments will need to be made, and offer recommendations on curricula that either endorse (or detract) from a healthy biliteracy program. You’ll also get a field-tested observation protocol with coaching on how to assess teacher performance on the key components.

In this workshop, You will get:
