Section: 601

Course Description

This graduate level course prepares K-12 educators in the leading-edge pedagogies necessary to work with multilingual (ML) students in the current educational context. The course is centered on practices that build languages and (bi)literacy skills for MLs, including equity pedagogies for ML students, WIDA framework for ML students, trans language practices, and biliteracy development for MLs. This course will also explore current curriculums and dual language curriculums that advance multilingualism for students, as well as curriculums used in K-12 classrooms (language and content areas) made accessible for ML students, through the use of native language materials and methods that supplement traditional teaching practices.
