District Dual Language PLCs
We never seem to get photos of the learning, but I want you all to know how committed your leaders are to learning from you and learning with you what it takes to develop a research based Dual Language Program.
We took some significant time to look at our teaching practice data and found some areas that we think, if we grew our leadership of these practices in our DL Classrooms by improving not only what feedback we give but also how it is delivered, we can deepen multilingual practice together.
We took lots of time to really dig deep into the two most substantial theories for effective multilingual learning:
Academic Oral Language Scaffolds (BICS/CALP) and Metalinguistic Awareness.
Take a look at some of the data we discussed. Data in Table
At this month’s Leadership PLC, topics of learning included What to Expect Grades 6-12. Please Check out the Youtube Video so you are in “the know” (Youtube)
