This series for early educators is designed to improve educator effectiveness in meeting the needs of Dual Language Learners (DLLs) and their families in the foundational years of preschool. The sessions will focus around four themes critical to DLL success:
• Partnering with Families
• Complex Oral Language
• Making Languages Visible and Tangible
• Early Literacy and Engaging with Text
The sessions will be organized around a thematic unit that will be shared with participants. Participants will engage in synchronous and asynchronous activities during and after sessions, which will allow them to enact and utilize strategies to enhance learning.
