Abstract

With the demographic imperative of multilingual learners being the fastest growing population in the K-12 system, it has become essential that general education teachers across the content areas need the knowledge, skills, and dispositions for becoming linguistically responsive teachers. Drawing on Lucas & Villegas (2011) seminal work that laid out the essential components necessary in preparing all teachers to be linguistically responsive, this symposium brings national initiatives together to share their models and outcomes targeting ALL teachers (preservice and inservice) to adopt the ethos and practices linguistically responsive educators who can ensure the academic success of multilingual learners.
