Innovating Curricular Designs for Bilingual Teacher Education in the US: Programs, Policies and Partnerships

Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Poster Hall - Exhibit Hall A

Session Type: Poster Session

Abstract

Posters represent chapters from the in-process Handbook of Bilingual Teacher Education (under contract) across two areas: program designs, and policy/leadership/community. Authors are researchers and teacher educators who prepare bilingual education teachers to work with emergent bilingual students K-12 settings. All posters seek to respond to the question: In what program designs do preservice and in-service teachers learn to foster bilingualism, biliteracy and biculturalism in their schools and classrooms? Bilingual teacher learning is complex, overlaying all the challenges of preparing professional educators for today’s diverse schools with all the challenges of educating bilingual/bicultural students: Accordingly, issues of politics, policy, program design, partnerships and leadership will be the focus of this structured poster session representing contexts across the US.
