A Workshop Model of Strategies for Early Childhood Educators Who Work with Emergent Bilinguals

Abstract

This series of workshops is based on a strengths-based perspective to emergent bilingual learning. It shows how a translanguaging approach can empower children, educators, and engage families by expanding learning opportunities, and making families a resource for educators. A blueprint of the professional development series is provided for teachers and administrators working with emergent bilinguals to consider.
