Please note, this learning experience is a virtual event and will not be hosted at a physical site.**
Join us on a deep dive into Teaching for Biliteracy: Strengthening Bridges Between Languages by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow. Whether you are a bilingual teacher or any teacher looking for innovative ways to support your English learners, this book will introduce you to the powerful notion of intentionally bridging languages so that students can strategically transfer knowledge from one language to another by building metalinguistic awareness. **This blended learning experience will include a 45 minute introductory webinar via Zoom. The independent study through the book’s 10 chapters will be accompanied by ongoing collaborative opportunities to discuss each chapter via online group chats. We will conclude with another 45 minute webinar to reflect on new learning.
The live Zoom meetings are scheduled for the initial and last day of the course. Participants will have 10 weeks to complete the course work. Zoom meeting dates: May 27, 3:00-4:00 pm and July 30, 3:00-4:00 pm. The rest of the time, participants will work independently through Google Classroom.
