Preparing Educators to Serve Dual Language Learners in Early Care and Education Settings: Existing Practices and Promising Solutions
Mon, April 20, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Given intentional language supports within high-quality learning environment, young dual language learners have the opportunity to develop academically and reap benefits of bilingualism. To ensure that DLLs receive high-quality early learning experiences, it is essential that ECE providers are prepared to effectively implement evidence-based best practices for DLLs. The five papers present perspectives from research and practice on early educators working with DLLs. Each paper will contribute a unique perspective and a) describe the current landscape in California around workforce preparation for ECE providers of DLLs, b) highlight existing and effective ECE classroom practices for DLLs, and c) provide examples of existing efforts to improve the quality of ECE for young DLLs through intentional workforce development.
