SUMMARY:NABE Conference Presentation-Suporting General Education Educators Serving Multilingual Students Through Multifaceted Professional Development
DESCRIPTION:Supporting General Education Educators Serving Multilingual Students Through Multifaceted Professional Development \nDate & Time: February 20\, 2025 | 2:20 PM\nLocation: Hanover E\nPresenter(s): \n\nMarybelle Marrero-Colón (Center for Applied Linguistics)\nKia Johnson (Center for Applied Linguistics)\n\nDescription:\nResearch has shown that well-trained professionals improve the quality of education through continual refinement of best practices (Zepeda\, 2013)\, yet teachers report feeling unprepared to meet the needs of their multilingual learners. For many\, the only PD provided are single-session workshops/webinars. In addition\, educator PD activities may consist of brief\, episodic events on topics selected by administrators which are disconnected from authentic classroom contexts (Fairman\, Smith\, Pullen\, Lebel\, 2020). This workshop presents alternatives such as guided lesson design\, lesson study\, educator-led PLCs\, peer mentoring\, gamification\, and hybrid co-planning. Participants will engage in group discussions\, jigsaw activities\, and planning activities.

SUMMARY:NABE Conference Presentation—Using Your Program Data for Self-Evaluation: A Simple Quantitative Method to Understand Inequity
DESCRIPTION:Using Your Program Data for Self-Evaluation: A Simple Quantitative Method to Understand Inequity \n\nDate & Time: February 21\, 2025 | 8:30–9:50 AM\nPresenter: Keira Ballantyne (CAL)\nDescription:\n“Quantitative analysis of program data can be daunting\, but not all analysis types require specialized training. In this hands-on workshop\, we will explore how you can use fractions to understand potential inequities in your dual language programs. This mathematically simple analysis is nevertheless extremely powerful in understanding inequities such as racial inequity\, or over- or under-representation of students with disabilities in EL status. We will first explore some common patterns of inequitable representation\, then work to understand how to apply these analyses to data. Participants will leave with easy-to-use self-evaluation tools that can be used in many diverse contexts.”

DESCRIPTION:A Bridge Connecting Creativity & Writing Proficiency for English Learners \n\nDate & Time: February 22\, 2025 | 8:00 AM\nLocation: Fairlie Room\nPresenter: Marybelle Marrero-Colon (CAL)\nDescription:\n“Writing as an academic process is both complex and multifaceted. It involves having the writer perform continuous problem-solving and decision-making activities. For second-language learners\, the ability to write precisely and coherently is a major challenge. Playwriting techniques allow English learners to become both purposeful and authentic in their written communication; likewise\, it lays the foundation for students to gain mastery in their English language development\, as well as their cultural\, social\, and emotional progress. This workshop will focus on using playwriting as a technique to approach English writing development and will showcase classroom methods and samples of student work.”

SUMMARY:Multilingual & English Learner Conference Presentation — Embracing Multilingual Learners' Linguistic and Cultural Assets to Enhance Learning and Promote Inclusivity
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Multilingual Learners’ Linguistic and Cultural Assets to Enhance Learning and Promote Inclusivity\nDate & Time: February 27\, 2025 | 8:20–9:20 AM\nPresenter(s): \n\nIgone Arteagoitia (Center for Applied Linguistic                                                                                                                                      Description:\nThe United States\, a nation of immigrants where nearly one in five students speaks a language other than English at home\, has often failed to recognize the rich linguistic and cultural resources multilingual learners bring to schools. These learners are frequently viewed as challenges rather than valuable assets. This presentation will draw on empirical research demonstrating the cognitive\, academic\, and social benefits of multilingualism to challenge current educational policies that are predominantly informed by studies on English-speaking monolingual children. We will advocate for bilingualism and biliteracy as fundamental rights for multilingual learners and any student who pursues them. The presentation will also showcase examples of effective practices that honor and harness the full linguistic and cultural repertoires of multilingual learners to support their academic growth\, promote equity\, and create inclusive learning environments.\n\n
