Guiding text: Biliteracy from the Start: Literacy Squared in Action. Kathy Escamilla, Susan Hopewell, Sandra Butvilofsky, Wendy Sparrow, Lucinda Soltero-Gonzalez, Olivia Ruiz-Figueroa, and Manuel Escamilla. (2014)
Using a PLC model, educators will attend three half-day sessions to study and discuss a biliteracy framework.
By the end of the three sessions, participants will be able to:
• Understand and explain the biliteracy instructional framework to
systematically design instruction for emergent bilinguals, and
• Use, create, and analyze quantitative and qualitative assessments to
guide instructional practices in a dual language/bilingual context.
