Face-to-face opportunities to engage with MLRC staff to explore research insights into teaching multilingual learners.
MLRC Speaker Series: Madigan Peercy et al
October 17 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Megan Madigan Peercy, Johanna Tigert, Daisy Fredricks, & Melanie Hardy-Skeberdis present Leveraging Core Practices to Support Teachers’ Humanizing Pedagogy with MLLs. Registration required.
In this webinar, we share an overview of the six core practices for teaching multilingual students that we have developed in collaboration with early career teachers. These practices emerged in response to the gap that Faltis & Valdes (2016) identified regarding the lack of direction offered to teacher educators about “the kinds of knowledge, skills, and inclinations teachers need to develop in order to be good and effective teachers and advocates for students who are speaking a language other than English” (p. 549). We highlight the core practices, share classroom examples, discuss how they support teachers’ humanizing pedagogy with MLLs, offer resources for teacher and teacher educator development, and describe our current and future efforts to further this research.
