Preparation for Postsecondary Education for Latinx Multilingual Learners in Chicago: Multiple Starting Points, Multiple Pathways

Fri, April 14, 2:50 to 4:20pm CDT (2:50 to 4:20pm CDT), Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, Floor: Level 4, Sheraton Ballroom II

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session highlights how partnerships among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers are crucial for co-constructing agendas of consequence and interrogating inequitable practices among Latinx students and ELs. Panelists examine the different components of the Latinx and EL student trajectory from kindergarten through to postsecondary education and surface insights into policies and practices that facilitate and inhibit these transitions. Findings as well as current practices and policies presented in this session require researchers to consider how these student populations’ linguistic and academic needs are being addressed, and the kinds of supports that can more effectively facilitate these students’ academic and professional pathways.
