The Spanish Literacy Institute is designed for teachers, specialists, and coordinators who provide support or instruction in the Spanish language in developmental and transitional bilingual, heritage language, language immersion, or dual language settings. This institute will be framed by an understanding of Spanish language arts standards and successful program design.
Participants must be proficient in Spanish and have a working knowledge of English to fully participate in all aspects of the Institute.
About our Presenters
- Mariana Castro, a special guest presenter from the WIDA Consortium, will provide an overview of WIDA’s Spanish Language Development (SLD) Standards and present ways in which the standards can be implemented in K-12 bilingual classrooms.
- Dr. Julie Sugarman, Center for Applied Linguistics, will outline how effective dual language/bilingual education programs that promote linguistic and cultural equity provide a strong foundation for instruction in Spanish.
- CAL presenters, Dr. Igone Arteagoitia and Ms. Kathleen Davin, will share strategies and practical tools for providing literacy instruction in Spanish and for developing metalinguistic awareness in students that will lead to academic success in both Spanish and English.
