Access to early care and education for Nevada’s infants and toddlers: A mixed methods examination of program characteristics and the role of COVID stabilization funds The earliest years of life, particularly through children' s third year of life, are the single most consequential for development, and interactions t…

Happy to share a new publication! Some tidbits: We found a serious shortage of infant/toddler care in NV. Programs taking subsidies were more likely to serve infants, while staffing and cost barriers limited recruitment despite family need. Temporary COVID funds helped sustain or expand care.

UNLV program helps Clark County teachers support English language learners Clark County teachers receive specialized training at UNLV through Project Pueblo to support English language learners using multilingual approaches.

So proud to share this story about Project PUEBLO at UNLV. Watching teachers transform classrooms for multilingual students has been amazing.

If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion
1/N

Big picture:

Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure)

- load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review

-These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means

Great to see Project PUEBLO get a shoutout at the Review Journal and the recognition of the need for dual language programs. www.reviewjournal.com/local/educat... #ccsd #duallanguage

In our 2-day third annual UNLV College of Education Project PUEBLO mini-conference event, 100 teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity to enhance support for emergent bilinguals. @unlv.bsky.social

Post LAST sentence of LAST article:

"In general, expanded financial investment in high-quality, affordable early care & education (ECE) that meets the needs of children & families from diverse backgrounds is essential to breaking down systemic barriers to equitable ECE access."

Hot off the press! Colleagues & I conducted a nationwide multidimensional examination of early care & education access, revealing 3/4 of ECE centers were characterized by meeting 0 dimensions of access, suggesting a critical need for policy action to expand families' access. tinyurl.com/yzhr66xz

UNLV College of Education Zeiter Literacy Center is offering a Professional Development Series focused on supporting multilingual learners with or at risk for having learning disabilities. See more info below. To register:

It was great to be a part of today's conversation with @SenCortezMasto regarding her bill, Reaching English Learners Act, aiming to better fund teacher preparation programs focusing on emergent bilinguals.

Interesting stats regarding Europeans' views of multilingualism. Wonder how we compare in the US 🤔

To my fellow first-gen graduates.... #unlv

In our 2-day second annual @unlvcoe PUEBLO mini-conference event, 95 teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals. Thankful for this partnership with @ClarkCountySch

Wonderful sharing our team's work, which highlighted elementary and secondary teachers' shifts toward a translanguaging-as-resource orientation in their conceptualizations of translanguaging, self-efficacy, and current practices . #AERA2024 @AERA_BerSig

Just found this relic hidden in an old resume portfolio. My name tag when I first interviewed to become a teacher in the Bronx as a NYC teaching fellow in 2006. 🥹 some of the best years #nycteachingfellow

Co-presented our study “Monolingual & multilingual in-service teachers’ conceptualization of translanguaging pedagogy in a teacher preparation program” at #AAAL2024 with the fab @DrSab_Sembiante

Excited our mixed-method study on translanguaging beliefs and practices in English-medium settings was accepted to #aera24! This study uniquely captures the perspectives of educators across grades and in varying content areas.

A true pleasure discussing & learning from teachers and fellow advocates of multilingual students on ways we could/should make students’ home languages more visible in policies & instruction, moving away from a monolingual/English-only lens. #nvedsummit23

Exciting 2 see #ProjectPUEBLO highlighted: @UNLVCoE's #ELL master's program focuses on importance of policy, advocacy, & leveraging emergent bilinguals' home languages ~300 #CCSD teachers will receive their ELAD endorsement to better support bilinguals

In day 2 of the inaugural PUEBLO mini-conference, teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals.

In day 1 of the inaugural PUEBLO mini-conference, teacher leaders presented on ways they intend to advocate, shape policy, and build school capacity in the efforts to better support emergent bilinguals. Only 1/4 of our graduating first cohort is pictured. So proud of this group.

My family and I (including our 2 dogs) were included in our dear friend
@jmenendezillu's illustrations in the upcoming children's book titled "Skyscraper Babies" How cool is that!

A joy to present our work #aera2023 with @DrSab_Sembiante & Catherine Restrepo. This study revealed how DLBE teachers engaged in sustainable #translanguaging pedagogy to protect the vulnerable language, Spanish, in show-and-tell.
