Bridging Multiple Worlds: Innovative Partnerships to Educate Diverse Democracies Within Culturally and Socioeconomically Diverse Communities

Sat, April 9, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 102 B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This session highlights how partnerships among students, schools, parent and local community groups, university teacher professional development and outreach programs, and state educational policy initiatives are improving educational opportunities for diverse communities in California, Hawai‘i, and Colorado. Initiatives highlighted in this session are part of a network known as the Bridging Multiple Worlds Alliance. Bridging Multiple Worlds Theory focuses on how diverse learners and their families navigate across family, school, and community settings in achieving academic and life success, while keeping ties to their families and cultural communities. Poster authors present findings from partnerships that illuminate how knowledge and experiences of individuals and cultural communities can serve as resources that facilitate students’ navigating through educational systems from childhood through college.
