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:
Biliteracy Activities
A series of biliteracy activities and planning tools to help teachers level up their routines and lesson plans.
classroom walkthrough
using the Biliteracy observation protocol, and get key growth areas for each participating teacher [NOTE: this option only for on-site trainings.]
FAQ for biliteracy components
Keynote + Case study examples
To model how the components are applied in real-life classrooms

is a nice accompaniment to any ABAR work being done in your district. Teachers move through a series of reflections on their personal journeys learning language while also engaging in some deep “un-learning” of myths around second language acquisition. Teacher attitudes and beliefs around language are explored, asking them to invite fresh, new identities as bilinguals into their classrooms.

takes text analysis to a whole new level. This cutting-edge workshop embeds the best of educational linguistics strategies to prepare teachers to conduct a “levels 1-2-3” analysis with any text type. Your MLLs will be making inferences and asking critical questions of texts in no time.
