Just wrapped up another amazing semana of supporting multilingual learners with opinion based pedagogía de lectoescritura.

We developed destrezas de oralidad y debate usando debate prompts within espacios de translenguaje!

When the condiciones for biliteracy are created- bilingual magia happens!

We dismantled & we rebuilt with a holistic lens! How to redesign la secuencia de destrezas fundamentales in DL?
1.Center Spanish como la columna
2.Layer English in service of Spanish – unique to each language allocation model
3.Leverage Cross-Linguistic Connections explicitly and frequently

Looking for ways to increase student engagement & ownership when lesson planning?

Student voice is an underutilized asset in driving instruction.
