The Teaching for Biliteracy Summer Institute brings together district and school level teams of educators to engage in a deep dive into the instructional, programmatic, and curricular elements of teaching for biliteracy and the Bridge. This robust, multi-day institute will include both large group networking experiences, along with small group sessions focused on specific biliteracy topics.
The institute will feature:
· Examples of the strategic use of Spanish (or other non-English language) and English in teaching for biliteracy in dual language and in one-way and two-way immersion programs.
· Best practices in teaching Spanish (or other non-English language) and English literacy.
· Sample biliteracy instruction and strategies that support the Bridge between languages.
· Biliteracy unit framework for developing and delivering standards-based biliteracy units of instruction that integrate the teaching of language, literacy, and content.
· Biliteracy schedules, language and content allocation plans, biliteracy curriculum maps, and other programmatic systems and structures to support biliteracy instruction.
Target Audience:
· This institute is designed for educators working in language programs that provide Spanish literacy (or a non-English language) and English literacy to students in one-way immersion (AKA development bilingual or maintenance bilingual), two-way immersion, and dual language programs.
· It is recommended that teams of teachers and administrators (school- and district-based) attend together since the institute focuses on optimal instruction for biliteracy as well as the systems and structures that support consistent delivery of effective instruction program-wide.
