SUMMARY:Leading Dual Language Programs for Student Success
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to enhance or develop your dual language program based on the seven research-based strands of effective dual language education in the CAL publication Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education (Howard et al.\, 2018). Sign up with your leadership team and work collaboratively to make your dual language program the best it can be! \nInstitute Details\nParticipants will gain research-based knowledge and practical tools to strengthen their leadership of dual language programs and promote student success in two languages. Guided by CAL’s decades of expertise in connecting research to practice\, this interactive institute supports leaders in understanding the benefits of dual language education\, designing effective program structures\, and fostering equitable\, culturally responsive learning environments. \nThis 12-hour institute is designed for district and school leaders—including principals\, assistant principals\, and teacher leaders—who want to deepen their understanding of the “nuts and bolts” of dual language programming. Special emphasis is placed on strategies that advance language and cultural equity while ensuring bilingualism\, biliteracy\, high academic achievement\, and sociocultural competence. \nThe institute will provide both live (synchronous) and on-your-own (asynchronous) online learning and will take place over several days. It will include: \n\nWorkshop sessions with CAL facilitators to explore effective leadership practices and connect with other educators committed to dual language success\nGuided opportunities to reflect on current school or district practices and plan for next steps in program development\nCollaborative discussions and networking with peers who share similar priorities and challenges.\n\nLearning Outcomes \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the key components and benefits of effective dual language education programs.\nApply strategies that promote language and cultural equity to support bilingualism\, biliteracy\, academic achievement\, and sociocultural competence.\nAnalyze their current school or district policies and practices to determine areas for growth in dual language programming.\nDevelop an action plan to strengthen or expand dual language program implementation in their context.\n\nWho Should Attend \nThis institute is designed for district and school leaders who guide or support dual language education\, including principals\, assistant principals\, program directors\, instructional coaches\, and teacher leaders. It is ideal for both those who are establishing new programs and those seeking to strengthen or expand existing dual language initiatives. \nQuestions? Email CAL with any questions you may have about our offerings. \nCurriculum Overview \nThis institute is designed to help educators develop or strengthen their dual language programs.
