Culture, Context, and Diversity: Effective Professional Development for English Learners

Institute, Professional Development/Teacher Preparation

For professional development to be successful, teaching and learning must go beyond the acquisition of basic skills and concepts through rote memorization and must engage students in critical thinking, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of data, and personal and societal decision-making. It is imperative to think about student engagement as a requisite to any school reforms and innovations. An effective professional development must consider the roles of students' cultures, classroom contexts, and engagement.

From Taming a Wild Tongue to Building a Bilingual, Bicultural University

This presentation tells the story of a university along the Texas-Mexico border that is transforming itself into a bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate institution. The historical forces of the region shaped higher education into an important agent for change throughout the 20th Century, but it was not change that was altogether friendly to the cultural and historical realities of local residents. The new push to become bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate signals a new day in higher education in this part of the world.

Who Is Us: The Future of American Identity

Our country has never been more diverse or more polarized, and the question of what it means to be American—and how we create a sustainable story of “us”—is front and center in our politics and culture. In this rich and provocative talk Eric Liu examines the birthing of a new America and argues that today’s fights over racial justice and social inclusion are fights to ensure that this country lives up to the full promise of its creed, and why now, more than ever, we need to ask: Who is us? Who gets to define modern America?

Mentores transformaciónales: Guiando a los padres de liderazgo sobre la educación superior.

Los administradores escolares confían en el líderazgo de los padres voluntarios y para-educadores para orientar y guiar a los niños y sus padres en las escuelas. Sin embargo, poca atención ha sido dada sobre los beneficios académicos de los líderes que hacen este tipo de trabajo. ¿Cuáles son los beneficios de aquellos que conectan las familias y las comunidades a nuestras escuelas? Cuando estos líderes adquieren la experiencia de la academia, se vuelven más preparados para guiar y orientar a los estudiantes y a las familias a quienes sirven sobre educación futura. El taller estará abierto para compartir historias, ideas y herramientas sobre cómo transformarse los padres voluntarios y los para-educadores en lideres.

Is It a Language Issue or a Skill Iissue?

Workshop, Commercial - Assessment & Accountability

English Learners in the US must meet the same academic standards as native speakers of English. According to the latest NAEP study (2015), 73% and 79% of California’s ELs read below the basic level in 4th and 8th grade (respectively). This research does identify literacy skills that ELs have in Spanish, yet cannot demonstrate in English. Assessing the same skills in both languages is critical to determining whether it is a language issue, skill issue, or both.

Mindfulness in Education: Understanding and Helping Thoughtfully

Mindfulness provides a strong foundation for the education of students through providing optimal conditions for learning and teaching. Through mindfulness, teachers, para-educators, students, and parents improve communication, relationships, and acceptance of students from multicultural backgrounds. By practicing mindfulness, educators can recognize their own prejudice and bias, the limitations of labels on expectations for students, and the potential damage of labeling, which affect both students with (dis)abilities and students who are bilingual.

Engaging Students in Critical Literary Analysis Using Biography, Social Justice Fiction & Fairy Tales From a Vygotskian Theoretical Framework

Literature reflects the cultural ways of every society. Embedded in story are the human experiences of life. An important role of teachers is to engage students in the critical reflection of meaning, values, and life's lessons. Vygotsky saw the teachers’ role as sociocultural mediators that not only bridge their cultural past but use story to create new ways of thinking and solutions to everyday challenges and problems. We will share key elements of Vygotsky's theory to organize teaching/learning by using mediated structures to deliberately guide, making literary elements visible, and engage in critical reflection.

Attaining the Promise: Mapping the Trajectory toward the Promise of Biliteracy and Academic Excellence

Research on Dual Language Immersion (DLI) programs shows that students in DLI programs outperform their peers in measures of academic achievement and in their levels of biliteracy by the time they complete elementary school and continue on this trajectory through the remainder of their school career. This presentation explores some of the challenges in, and benefits of, considering a system to map the trajectory of established programs whose students do attain the promise of high levels of academic achievement and biliteracy. This has the potential to inform the development of new programs and the refinement of experienced programs, so that administrators, teachers, parents, and community members can be assured that students will reach the promise of high levels of academic achievement and biliteracy. Implications from the passage of Proposition 58 will be addressed in this session. Implications for the implementation of Proposition 58 will be addressed in this session.

Spanish TWI transitions from Elementary to Middle School for Students Academically at-Risk.

Students academically at-risk may face more challenges when transitioning from elementary to middle school. How do they fare in a Spanish TWI program? In this presentation, we utilize Participatory Action Research (PAR) processes, an ongoing research method that encourages educators to question their own practices and context in order to improve them. We will discuss how specific groups of students (learning disabilities, low socioeconomic status, English Learners, and certain language minorities) fare in transitioning to middle school. The PAR study explores perceptions and beliefs of dual immersion teachers, parents, students and scholars. This session will also delve into practices, expectations and strategies to improve those transitions.

Special Educaton in the World of Dual Immersion

Dual Language Immersion education is not only appropriate for most students, it may be the only chance that some students will have of acquiring a second language.The key to deciding on a chosen path for individual students rests with the dual immersion program’s faculty and administration in consultation with parents. The education and involvement of parents will not only allay fears and reservations, but will also encourage them to become active partners within the classroom and program.

This study is concerned with analyzing the effects of the implementation of one such reading and writing intervention, focusing on teachers’ responses to that intervention after a three-year period. The language and literacy intervention had, as its purpose, the development of reading and writing proficiency of a predominently bilingual Latino student population.

Teaching Language and Vocabulary Using Mentor Text

To be able to build critical readers and writers, we must enrich our vocabulary and language development. The Common Core Language Standards require teachers to understand how language works within the context of students' learning in all content areas. Because of this, teachers need to know how to explicitly teach these standards and strengthen the academic discourse. This workshop will show how to instruct students using mentor text throughout the school day to enhance their language and vocabulary.

Working to ensure CA’s ECE systems focus on DLLs

In California, 57% of children, from birth through age 5, live in a household where English is not the primary language. And although three and four year olds are wired for language, so many of our early childhood classrooms lack the rich and intentional language development that ensure young DLLs reach their potential. This session will explore the intersection of policy and practice within California’s early childhood educational systems with a dual language learner lens.

CABE 2017 Film Festival (Thursday): Bless Me, Ultima

“There are so many dreams to be fulfilled, but Ultima says a man's destiny must unfold itself like a flower, with only the sun and the earth and water making it blossom, and no one else meddling in it.” BLESS ME, ULTIMA is based upon the controversial novel by Rudolfo Anaya. It is a turbulent coming of age story about Antonio Márez, a young boy growing up in New Mexico during World War II. When a mysterious curandera, Ultima, comes to live with his family, she teaches him about the power of the spiritual world. As their relationship grows, Antonio begins to question the strict Catholic doctrine he has been taught by his parents. Through a series of mysterious and, at times, terrifying events Antonio must grapple with questions about his own destiny, the relationship between good vs. evil and, ultimately, how to reconcile Ultima’s powers with those of the God of his church.

Educational Trajectories of EL Students in Dual Language Programs

This presentation examines the language proficiency and reading achievement trajectories of 2201 fourth- through eighth-grade EL students who differed by English language proficiency and were enrolled in a dual language program. Results showed that: 1) students achieved average in Spanish reading achievement and at similar levels in English as their English mainstream ELL peers; 2) students in the four English language proficiency groups varied significantly in all outcome measures in English and Spanish (FEP>Advanced>Intermediate>Beginner) by upper, but not K/1 entry, grades; and 3) examining students’ trajectories shows the importance of Bilingual, not just English, proficiency at school entry and the impact of Spanish reading on English reading in grades 3 and 5-8.

This workshop will give participants ideas on how to create a research-based parent involvement program to help increase parent engagement.
